After further investigation, this nasty 2D bug only occurs when using firefox and vistiting GMAIL. Sometimes it crashes instantly when i goto gmail, othertimes its not instant, but gmail is the common factor to every one of the crashes...and i'll estimate ive seen this crash at least 30 times in last week. Using vesa driver, gmail works fine, and I cannot reproduce the crash at all. So the bug must have been triggered by either firefox-3.0.7-1 or xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-15 both of which I installed a week or so ago, which is when this bug/crash started occurring. I have experienced the same bug. It seems to be that the driver gets stuck on a loop. I can access the system using ssh from other system and see that X takes about 65% of the CPU. Firefox does it consistently It has happened with gimp, netbeans and others. Most of the time the screen is scrolling. kernel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686. xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-15.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-2.fc10.i386 Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one) whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

I too encountered a hard hang in X while using Firefox on a low end Radeon. This hardware hasn't hung like this before "Radeon Test Day" (normally it runs Fedora Core 6). I tried booting the test livecd (fedora-livecd--i686-201001041452). The system comes up, has a few other much more minor problems, but within about 10 minutes, running Firefox, it produces this hard hang. The cursor stops moving, there's no effect from ctl-alt-f1, ctl-alt-bs, ctl-alt-delete, or alt-tab. Since it was a livecd with no user accounts, thus no option to ssh in remotely, I had to power cycle it. Reproduced this hang twice. Both times I was reading this page in Firefox: http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&order=DESC&topic_id=68414&forum=12 and I had hit the scrollbar to try to scroll it to read more. Bam, dead. The second time I had "top" running in another window, and it hung and stopped updating its window too. I had plenty of swap space available, that wasn't the cause of the hang. This is with the ATI Radeon Express 200 5974 (NOT R300) on an HP dc5750. I was unable to get dmesg output. I had not messed with Xorg.conf as provided on that livecd. I booted without changing any kernel options, and was just running the very first test (see if it boots and doesn't flicker the screen). It hung a third time while I was browsing Google's privacy policy for Firefox. In that case the symptoms were different: the mouse would move, but nothing else happens. Top stopped updating, couldn't click on anything, ctrl-alt-F1, alt-tab, c-a-del, c-a-bs all produce no effect. I power cycled it. I'd bet that turning off DRI (in the device section) fixes the hangs. I've been experiencing similar hangs myself, and that's the only setting I can find that fixes things. I also have to use nomodeset, otherwise it crashes much earlier. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20348 I was reviewing the ati bugs I'm CC'd on here and thought this one looked like upstream #21598: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21598 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 436632 *** |
