Serial console log file.

Description of problem:
The driver was working for some hours without problems. Even restarting the X server was no problem. But after a day I tried to use Xvideo, which resulted in a kernel oops because of memory corruption. The video player started and the system was dead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.0-2.fc11.i586
kernel-PAE-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.i686

Comment 4 Thomas Woerner 2009-03-23 13:43:24 UTC
Here is a simple reproducer:

1) Remove /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db and call updatedb
2) Start to play some video file

Comment 5 Thomas Woerner 2009-03-23 13:48:34 UTC
Using xf86-video-ati (from GIT) solves the problem for me completely.

Comment 6 Thomas Woerner 2009-04-02 15:04:24 UTC
It is still a problem with the latest rawhide packages:

xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-2.fc11
kernel-2.6.29.1-37.rc1.fc11

Comment 7 Thomas Woerner 2009-04-06 09:46:05 UTC
There has been no corruption since using the fix in xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-4.fc11.

Closing as RAWHIDE.
