if you press the Any Key, tho.

Please disregard this. I have found the problem... My new mainboard had
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace bound to "Immediate Shutdown" in BIOS Setup. Nice
default hotkey for XFree86 users...

Eric, this isn't precisely the situation you asked about, but
it may be related.

I've had similar problems to what was noted by MKB but an 
older setup.

I'm running 5.0-RELEASE on my I8K with the Mobility Radeon
7500 (M7 chip with 64MB) configured with XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
and DRI compiled from CVS from around Jan 30 of this year.

What I found was that the system ran completely stable as
long as no X was running at all.  I tried:

stock X from cd with 5.0 modules

stock X from cd with CVS DRI modules

stock X from cd with overlayed CVS DRI including modules

stock X from cd with overlayed CVS DRI with 5.0 modules

X from CVS with 5.0 modules

X from CVS with DRI CVS modules

X from CVS with overlayed CVS DRI including modules

X from CVS with overlayed CVS DRI with 5.0 modules

all permutations of above both with and without DRI enabled

all permutations of above under gnome with and without 
screensavers activated and also vanilla twm with no
screensaver at all

Whatever I did, X would run fine for a while and then at
an unpredictable time it would all just freeze.  It is not
responsive to anything at all (including network access)
except for hard power off by holding down the button for 5
seconds.  I've even seen this freeze on the console when X
is running.

I haven't tried to update (because of my efforts to get the 
install to act as a server for ppc work I was hesitant to
change anything) so I can't say anything for the newest 
software but I did try the combinations above into February.
I finally gave up on trying things and left X off when 
working with 5.0 except for VERY short timeframes (I also 
have two installs of 4.7 that work fine on the same disk).

I concluded that the problem lay in the OS somewhere, but I
don't know if this fits in with your observations.

Ämne: Anyone had hangs with Radeon, XF86 4.3.0, and DRI on logout?


As the subject says, I'm wondering if anyone out there has experienced
hangs on logging out from xdm (or perhaps switching VTs) with Radeon or
matrox (perhaps r128, too) cards using the updated DRM in -current and
XFree86 4.3.0.  If so, I may have a fix, but I'm wondering if this
affects FreeBSD.

It seems not to be related, but when I try to kill my X Server using
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, my box powers down (jsut like an APM power-down). I
started noticing it using 4-STABLE+ NVidia driver, but it continued to
be the case on -CURRENT with Xfree86's nv driver.
I just re-installed NVidia's driver and it works great (far more stable
than on -STABLE *g*), but I did not confirm if I can kill my X server
using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace properly again. Will do that in some minutes,
though. I remember that I have lost quite a lot of files one time this
happened (I was used to kill my X Server using the shortcut) on -STABLE.

I see this on my IBM A30p notebook.

What is the date of the updated DRM you are concerned
with?  I have a radeon 7500 M7 in my laptop with XFree86
4.3.0 and a kernel from yesterday's sources.  I haven't
noticed any problems with switch to VTs except for a 
few second delay in updating X when I switch back.  I'm
attributing the delay to a ULE quirk.

Yes, I had them from 5.0 onwards until -p7.  Not only with radeon but
also (although not so often) with mga.  They don't seem to happen 
anymore with the Matrox card in -p7 but I can't right now check if it's 
still problematic with a Radeon (I have swapped cards in hope to 
workaround that problem.)  But since I also had problems with the mga 
before -p7 and they don't seem to exist anymore now perhaps the problem 
has gone away?  (The problem manifested itself in the X server taking 
100% cpu in kernel mode, and trying to kill it, or trying to reboot made 
the machine freeze solid.  It only happened when the X session was 
terminated / X server was restarted, and occasionally in some 
xscreensaver hacks, after a while, although I couldn't ascertain this 
because I usually am not there when xscreensaver is running... ;)
