Created attachment 333251 [details] Xorg log Description of problem: Hmmm, while browsing for WoW tips I stumbled upon a pop-up ad site that consistently crashes the X server. It's the only one I've found so far: http://www.teamidemise.com/?hop=mmktggrp Twice it crashed the X server when opened in my existing firefox session, load the page and suddenly you find yourself looking at the GDM login screen. Once I figured out what was going on I tried it in a fresh session, and it hung the server instead, mouse would move but server otherwise wedged. Keyboard not responsive, killing off the server remotely results in a screwed up console and the X server will not start back up again without hanging, no option but to reboot. This is the exact same system as in #474977. Workaround is to disable modesetting, I've not had a single crash with modesetting disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-2.fc10.x86_64 firefox-3.0.6-1.fc10.x86_64 xulrunner-1.9.0.6-1.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open http://www.teamidemise.com/?hop=mmktggrp in Firefox Actual results: X server crashes or hangs. Expected results: Page loads normally
Hmm, cannot reproduce here both with i810 and ATI driver (F10 and Rawhide). Dave, do you see anything interesting in that log?
Okay, so I upgraded to F11/rawhide. That specific web site no longer seems to crash the server. However, I still quite often get lockups when modesetting is enabled. It seems to have something to do with opening/closing Firefox windows, but I haven't nailed down anything specific yet. No crash, but the X server seems to lock up, the mouse cursor moves but nothing else responds. Console switching and ctl-alt-bs (which I enabled) doesn't work. I have to ssh in and reboot the machine. So modesetting is still unusably broken for me. firefox-3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-7.fc11.x86_64 xulrunner-1.9.1-0.20.beta4.fc11.x86_64 Attaching a current xorg log.

Well hot damn. It seems OpenGL has started mostly workin with modesetting disabled as of: kernel-2.6.29.3-140.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1-11.fc11.x86_64 I just played a few games of Quake 3 at 90fps, with the detail all the way up. However there seems to be a problem if you try and change the OpenGL settings in the game, if you click "apply" the screen goes black and the game locks up. Keyboard doesn't work, not even caps lock, can't switch vconsoles. If I ssh in and kill -9 quake3 the X server seems to recover okay though. I can even fire up Doom 3, and the menu screens work smoothly and render perfectly, something I haven't seen in a while. But I can't seem to start a game, the screen just goes black and the game locks up. Once again I have to ssh in and kill it. But doom3 doesn't seem to need -9. I see this in the log: doom.x86: radeon_mipmap_tree.c:114: compute_tex_image_offset: Assertion `lvl->size > 0' failed. I'll try it with modesetting enabled later.
Okay, I'm now running with modesetting *enabled*. Quake 3 works, and doesn't have the lockup problem when changing OpenGl settings. But performance seems to suffer, with high detail settings I get downwards of 15fps in busy scenes. With low detail settings (lightmaping seems to be what really kills it) I get a more acceptable 30-40 fps, but that's a far cry from 90fps... Starting Doom 3 killed the server right away. The screen went black, and the server locked up. Keyboard totally nonfunctional. I ssh'ed in, doom3.x86 has become a defunct proccess, and Xorg wouldn't even respond to kill -9. I had to reboot the machine. No lockups so far using Firefox. But I'll have to browse for a while more to be sure.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
