Problem still exists on: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.2-0.1.20101109git0c2834e67.fc15.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.9.1-3.fc15.i686 I have narrowed this problem down; it is only able to reproduced in a dual-screen setup. I have two monitors attached to my Radeon 9800 and when booting with either only the VGA one or only the DVI one connected, I'm not able to reproduce the problem (I can start/exit X over and over again without crashes). Output from startx (standard error / standard output) doesn't get very far before the crash occurs.

I tried rebooting with radeon.modeset=0 but in this case, X won't even start (segfaults immediately) no matter which monitors are attached. I don't know if booting without KMS is even supported anymore but I thought I'd try it. can you try with a later kernel please? and if it still fails, can you boot with drm.debug=4 and aattach it. also can you try with radeon.agpmode=4 or radeon.agpmode=-1 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 closed |
Created attachment 455375 [details] full dmesg including crash at end Description of problem: Often when starting the X server or switching from a VT to the X server, the screen blanks (power saving mode), the kernel crashes, and the only option is SysRq+B or powering off. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.36-1.fc15.i686 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.1-0.4.20100705git37b348059.fc15.i686 How reproducible: 25% of time I start X or switch to X from a VT. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. startx or switch to a VT and then back to X Actual results: Kernel crashes and system will not respond to anything except SysRq Expected results: X works Additional info: Linux mediaroom1 2.6.36-1.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Thu Oct 21 04:49:22 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
