I can also confirm this bug on Ubuntu 9.04 on a PII-450 with a Voodoo 3. I can login to a normal X session, but scrolling an image causes a crash, and in general X is very unstable, with GDM crashing a lot.
The workaround, as mentioned above, is to set: Option "NoAccel" "true" in the "Device" section of xorg.conf This has serious performance penalties in a 2d environment. Searching the net for this issue reveals the issue being discussed in 2006, around the time Ubuntu 6.04 was the newest release. It seems that some resolution was found and committed upstream after that. Note that no issues were noticed in Ubuntu 8.10 on the same machine. I do not understand the root cause of the problem, but this seems to be a regression. I hope someone can help shed some light. -- Xorg freezes on Voodoo3 at 1440x900 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
