Bug#617969: xserver-xorg-core: Weird behavior/crash with specific usage
You said radeon right? I don't have that but here's some tips. /usr/X11R7/bin/Xorg (that's the name of your real X server) automatically makes a config (example /etc/X11/Xorg-config-4). What you want is to run Xorg with option to save the config. Editing that config you'll see mouse, keyboard, video card, fonts, etc that X will try to use upon startup. You have to tell Xorg to use the config on startup (because it will try to do it automatic as usual). You'd like to look at someone else's config. You might see 1) your loading modules you might not need 2) your loading modules you don't have 3) how to run in a more basic / stable mode until you get things figured out. You'll have to ask someone else how exactly not to load 3D because I don't use Xorg and I don't have a radeon chipset video card. You might also try: xserver-xorg-video-radeon. And there's also the Debian Alioth website if you haven't found it yet. hammered hammered wrote: one more thing to try is startup without 3D support (agp / vga only) How do I do that? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#617969: xserver-xorg-core: Weird behavior/crash with specific usage
I don't have a hardware problem. I checked with Debian Stable LiveCD and none of the problems appeared there. In fact my machine worked great with sid just before the release of the new stable. After that, some of the updates that flew in caused this problem. I certainly haven't overclocked my GPU. So maybe this is an xserver-xorg-video-radeon problem? Should I re-report it there? my experience with that is you *might* have a memory problem with your video card with the lockup statement included that adds to the possibility that might be so on the other hand I can't see it so you might just need graphics libs needing to be re-installed Best is if you can try a known good video card in or with the same system. . Alternatively if you can't try a different card maybe you can try known good graphics apps that use the same ammount of video memory and see if there are problems. But that is mostly the same as re-installing. Your not over clocking your card are you? That can cause permanent damage. tools that change clock speed have been known to damage and be a pile of bull when it comes to real performance that the card (properly set) did not already have.

I have no other clue on which package is resposible. Secondly, maybe this should be characterized as 'grave'. Furthermore, my problem can manifest in 2 ways, which seem to be random: 1. A vertical strip of the screen(possibly arround 200pixels wide) from the leftmost part of the screen gets mirrored/painted on the rightmost part of the screen. If I just drag my mouse on the rightmost part of the desktop creating a 'selection-rectangle' that portion of the screen gets repainted correctly. This is the less annoying side-effect. The most annoying is this: If this happens under GNOME2.x(from unstable) the ENTIRE system lockups. I cannot even ctrl+alt+f1 to a console. The only thing working is the mouse pointer but I cannot 'click' anything on screen. My only way to reboot is by alt+sysrq+r+s+u+b which sucks. If this happens while using Xfce4.8(from experimental) funnily enough the system doesn't lockup. Everything works up until I close the offending window/program(see below on how to reproduce). But (in xfce) if I do ctrl+alt+f1- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart nothing happens. If after that I do a ctrl+alt+f7 the system lockups again. 2. X.org gets automatically restarted and I get presented with a GDM login screen. Needless to say everything that was opened on the desktop is lost. How to reproduce: 1. Use any Gtk program that has a treeview widget with a treestore(eg. exaile, reportbug, dfeet, emesene) or compile an example gtk-treeview(I did to confirm) program. Try to approach the mouse pointer to the arrow of the treeview that expands/collapses the rows. The instant the mouse goes over it, one of the above will happen. 2. Launch xterm. It only paints the window and then one of the above happens. 3. Open LibreOffice Writer and go Help-About. When the new window opens, one of the above happens. The same happens when LibreOffice Writer presents you with a dialog. eg save/cancel/ignore, recovering lost work. This may happen with all LibreOffice products. I haven't tested that. -- Package-specific info: X server symlink status: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 20 15:35 /etc/X11/X - /usr/bin/Xorg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1926304 Mar 7 17:48 /usr/bin/Xorg VGA-compatible devices on PCI bus: -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc R520 [Radeon X1800] [1002:7109] /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d does not exist.
