Description Mike Hanafey 2011-07-25 19:07:24 UTC
Created attachment 515127 [details]
Noise from /var/log/messages for two cases

Description of problem:
X windows freezes. Sometimes the screen goes blank, and then returns, repeatedly. The message "GPU lockup CP stall for more than 10000msec" is logged. Running glxgears caused the screen to get painted with random pixels (this occurred after a few seconds of normal glxgears operation).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15 was updated on 2011/07/25 (standard repos).

How reproducible:
System functions, but dragging the scroll bar in firefox invariably precipitates the problem

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag firefox scrollbar up and down rapidly.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
X windows becomes unresponsive. The mouse can be moved, but no other response. Only recovery is to reboot via Ctrl-Alt-F6.


Additional info:
Harware is HP HPE 8 with Sandy Bridge 2600 CPU, 8 GB RAM, Radeon 6850 graphics.

Comment 1 Matěj Cepl 2011-10-11 16:15:25 UTC
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 add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, make sure there is no nomodeset there, restart computer, reproduce the problem, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log*; check with grep Backtrace /var/log/Xorg* which logs might be the most interesting ones, send us at least Xorg.0.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:13:31 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
