Similar problems here. Different kernels (2.4.18, 2.4.19, 2.5.4x), Radeon 8500, radeon driver from DRI CVS. The first time the switch into graphics mode always works. But restarting or resetting the X server (even turning it off and trying to rerun it hours later) or switching to text mode and switching back often kills the whole machine (very randomly, ~50% of the time). The video mode switch itself succeeds and I can see the old date in the frame buffer, but then the machine freezes and it doesn't get redrawn. The machine doesn't respond to anything, network is dead, the harddisk stops doing anything, completely dead. And it does the same thing (most of the time) when switching resolution in X (ctrl-alt-+/- oder starting a game in full screen mode). I always thought, this is was my fault. I've never had any luck with compiling XFree myself. My versions are always totally buggy (especially when compiling the whole tree). But compiling only the DRI part always worked, but then things got worse (freezes and so). But at the moment, even the binary snapshots of the radeon/r200 driver are showing the same symptoms (slightly better, but the system still crashes at about 25% of the X server restarts). Any ideas? Problem with the kernel? Problem with a buggy XFree module lying around? Problem with me? Another problem? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ApacheCon, November 18-21 in Las Vegas (supported by COMDEX), the only Apache event to be fully supported by the ASF. http://www.apachecon.com _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
