** Description changed: + [Edit:] + This bug has been around for almost a year now, and has gotten rather long, so this is a brief summary. + There is a memory corruption issue that affects users of the rs690m, to varying degrees. + For many, if not most, it makes the desktop unusable. + + There is a workaround: + [code] + sudo su + echo options radeon modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf + exit + [/code] + Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue. + Also, on Natty, it causes the system to fall back to software rendering, thus preventing compositing. + + Freedesktop.org has marked the bug as 'Fixed', although at present Launchpad doesn't reflect this, and the code still needs to be compiled by someone and tested. A new bugreport will need to be opened on freedesktop.org if it doesn't work. + [/edit] + Binary package hint: xorg I can't see things right now to report the bug, but I wanted to run ubuntu-bugs xorg while there was a curruption present. i'll fill out this bug more completely later. -Brian ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: xorg 1:7.5+3ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-19.28-generic 2.6.32.10+drm33.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-19-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Apr 6 12:58:29 2010 DkmsStatus: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) MachineType: Gateway LT31 ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic root=UUID=617a7a50-d35f-4b03-8bf1-f91ec024381b ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xorg dmi.bios.date: 06/18/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD dmi.bios.version: v1.3201 dmi.board.name: SJM11-YK dmi.board.vendor: Gateway dmi.board.version: Not Applicable dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Gateway dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLTD:bvrv1.3201:bd06/18/2009:svnGateway:pnLT31:pvrNotApplicable:rvnGateway:rnSJM11-YK:rvrNotApplicable:cvnGateway:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: LT31 dmi.product.version: Not Applicable dmi.sys.vendor: Gateway system: - distro: Ubuntu - codename: lucid - architecture: i686 - kernel: 2.6.32-19-generic + distro: Ubuntu + codename: lucid + architecture: i686 + kernel: 2.6.32-19-generic [lspci] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791f] - Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:028c] + Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:028c]
