There are a number of people subscribed to this bug, however based on
the descriptions I think you're not all having exactly the same bug. A
number of different classes of bugs can result in hung systems, but they
hang in different ways.
If your system hangs solidly, such that even ssh doesn't work, this
strongly indicates a kernel bug. When X locks up, it only takes out X -
not the whole system.
If ctrl-alt-backspace still works, then X is certainly bugged, but these
are completely different bugs than ones where ctrl-alt-backspace
*doesn't* work.
If the mouse cursor still works, these are different from bugs where the
cursor doesn't work.
Hangs that go away if compiz or DRI is disabled are different from hangs
that occur with it on or off both.
So, I'd really encourage each of you to report your bug separately.
It's appreciated that you're trying to help save some time not filing
duplicate bugs, but I think we're more likely to sort out each person's
issue if they're reported separately; it's pretty easy for us to link
bugs as dupes so no worries.
For -ati cards, hangs can often be caused by AGP incompatibilities -
particularly hangs which only occur when DRI is enabled, that lock up
the system but leave the mouse still working, and that cannot be ctrl-
alt-backspace'd. If you suspect you have this kind of bug, please test
it by adding the AGPMode option to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf Device
section, like:
Section "Device"
...
Option "AGPMode" "2"
EndSection
Also try values of 1, 2, 4, and 8. (4 is often the default). If this
works, then we may be able to add a quirk to make your hardware combo
work - in this case please file a NEW bug and provide the following
data:
* AGPMode value needed
* Make/Model of laptop or motherboard
* Output of lspci -vvnn
* Is the system all factory hardware, or have any parts been replaced?
* Is there an AGP Mode in the system BIOS?
- If so, is it set to the factory default?
