I've been having hardlocks doing something as simple as
"X -probeonly". The hardlocks don't seem to be driver related.
It locks up in xf86CloseConsole called from ddxGiveUp.
I'm running YDL 2.1 with kernel 2.4.10-12a, if that matters.
The hardware is NV11 with the "nv" driver.
It locks up on this ioctl:
ioctl(xf86Info.consoleFd, VT_ACTIVATE, activeVT);
which is the switch back to the original VT. Interestingly enough,
I have sleeps between the ioctls and it looks like all the previous
ioctls work correctly. I can see the VT reset to a text mode. It's
the switch back to the original VT that breaks. Is there chipset
specific stuff in the kernel that happens for a VT switch like this?
Mark.
