I have an Inspiron 4100, 1Ghz, 16MB Radeon Mobility M6 that I cannot keep running for any length of time. The machine is pingable and I can ssh into it, but the display is locked.
I have compiled a 2.4.18-pre7 kernel since it has the agpgart fixes, and am using the latest radeon driver from dri.sourceforge.net. I also patched it with the latest i810_audio driver. I am using Redhat 7.2 (with latest redcarpet updates) with Ximian (with latest redcarpet updates). I have not upgraded to the 4.1.0-15 rpms yet(or 4.2.0 for that matter). Today I found a screensaver that will lockup X-- StarWars. Sometimes it takes a while and sometimes it doesn't. I had the screensaver on random one night, and it crashed on StarWars. I then had the screen saver on random last night-- no crash. So I made it so only StarWars was the screensaver-- after a few minutes it crashed. No kernel errors and no errors in XFree86.0.log. For now I disabled the screensaver-- but feel it could crash at any time. Is it a requirement to use XFree86 4.2.0 with the drivers from http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ ? I am using those drivers but with the redhat 4.1.0 rpms. Also, is the support for this chipset (4c59 based on lspci) considered stable at this point? Thank you for your help!
