firefox crash log
I gave out wrong information. When firefox crashes, the system is with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-15.fc11. Attached is the crash log from firefox. After upgrading to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-17.fc11, I can no longer reproduce the crash. But flash object still remains as grey out area.

xorg.0.log
Seems like direct rendering is on according to glxinfo. But Xorg.0.log has errors about DRI.
[root@suita ~]# glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
Checked Common F11 bugs and tried both: Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Option "AccelDFS" "off" doesn't resolve the issue I am seeing. Would Option "DRI" "off" help? (our last offspring in the collection of fixing tips) Created attachment 349192 [details]
firefox crash
No, it doesn't work for me. This time, firefox crashes again with DRI disabled.

xorg.0.log
Even though Xorg.0.log seems to indicate DRI is disabled, glxinfo says something else. Not sure which one is correct.
[root@suita ~]# grep DRI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) Loading extension DRI2
(**) RADEON(0): Option "DRI" "false"
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
[root@suita ~]# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

Message direct rendering: Yes says just that DRI protocol is supported; in this case we don't do it hardware-wise, but emulate DRI hardware with software (see that DRISWRAST line). This will be really slow. So, although DRI is supported I wouldn't try if I were you to run compiz now (for example). Thanks for the info. Given disabling DRI doesn't help my situation and it will make performance worse, I will take out that option. May I know what's the next thing I can try to get flash working on firefox? The flash problem turns out to be caused by the legacy libflashsupport package from earlier install. Removing that fixes that issue. I also found out I can remove the nomodeset and get the hardware acceleration working by changing the Vaio's BIOS settings. (set LCD screen expansion to yes) Marked this bug as NOTABUG. |
Created attachment 349053 [details] xorg.conf Description of problem: Starting up kernel with "nomodeset" (couldn't bring up X at all with it), bring up firefox and go to youtube. Select any youtube movie. When the movie about to start (after a brief buffering), firefox crashes. The next time I startup firefox and go to the same site, I got the grey out box for the flash object (appears flash-plugin got disabled). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 #1 SMP xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-17.fc11.i586 firefox-3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11.i586 flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. start up kernel with "nomodeset" 2. start firefox 3. go to youtube 4. select any flash movie Actual results: firefox crashes Expected results: movie plays normally Additional info: Everything was working fine with fedora 10. Without "nomodeset" in the cmdline, X fails to start up (separate issue).
