Please report this to X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Be sure to attach your X server config file and log file, and /var/log/messages to the report as individual uncompressed file attachments to the upstream bug report, to assist X.Org PPC developers in diagnosing the issue. Once you've filed your report to X.Org, if you'd like Red Hat to track the issue, paste the URL here. Thanks in advance. The URL to the freedesktop issue is: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4999 However there is one thing I am not entirely sure of. This problem does not happen with the FC4 version. xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 works fine. xorg-x11-6.8.2-58 (or any from the FC-devel) does not work. I see I was very unclear about this. I am very sorry for that. Is this still an issue for fdo? I did some more poking around (this information is also added to the fdo bug): The following has changed between the working (FC4) and the non-working (FC-devel) version: 1. The most likely candidate: Modifications on how "Dynamic Clocks" are handeled has been modified. My current configuration runs with default setting for "DynamicClocks". According to the log file this defaults to off: (II) RADEON(0): Dynamic Clock Scaling Disabled Atleast if it is disabled then I get no freeze. I will try to install the newer version again and disable dynamic clocks and see if I get the freeze. The patch name is: xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-radeon-ppc-enable-dynamic-clocks.patch Is this a RH patch or is the fix also in xorg-x11? 2. A patch to workaround volatile problems in gcc has been dropped since it should be fixed in gcc-4.0.1-4 (RH build) which should have been used to compile the package. 3. A modification enabling DRI for Radeon RV100 has been modified. This radeon is an RV280 so this patch should not affect. 4. The patch for CAN-2005-2495 (allocating too large pixmaps) is not included in the version that freezes 5. Support i945 is not included in the version that freezes (should not be related since that is an Intel chip and this is not an Intel platform). 6. A leak in the shadow framebuffer is fixed in the non-freezing version. 7. A patch to remove ProPolice stuff is removed in the freezing version. > I do not use the stock Red Hat kernel since this does not include power

We do not support systems that have custom kernels installed. Aside from
that though, since this report was filed in bugzilla, Fedora development
has made a major changeover from X.Org 6.8.2 to the X11R7 RC2 release of
modular Xorg.
It is highly recommended that you update to the latest Fedora development
packages, and that you use the Red Hat supplied kernel. If you require
functionality not present in the Red Hat kernel, simply install the official
kernel plus a custom kernel, and when you experience any problems, be
sure to reboot into the Red Hat supported kernel and reproduce the problem
with the Red Hat kernel before filing a bug report.
If you still have this problem after upgrading to Fedora Core 5test1 and
updating to all of the latest RPM packages from Fedora development, please
update your X.Org bug report, or file a new one if the problem is different
from what was reported before.
The problem seems very kernel unrelated. If I enable "Dynamic Clocks" in X I get instability. If I disable it it works. |
