4.right click
	

Actual Results:  Monitor(s) shut down.  The video card stopped all signals.

If you disable accel for troubleshooting purposes by using:

Option "noaccel"

in the Device section of the config file, does this problem go away?

If so, there are other options we can experiment with to narrow it down.


Comment 4 Ulrich Drepper 2002-11-18 08:16:24 UTC
Sorry for the delay.  This is my main machine which has the problem and I hardly
ever reboot it.

But I did now, to get the 2.4.18-18.8.0 kernel.  The result: I cannot reproduce
the problem.  A few things changed:

- the kernel: 2.4.18-18.8.0 instead of 2.4.18-17.8.0
- the system's uptime (and use of X and its resources)
- the file I viewed

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it.

I just tried it with 2.4.18-18.8.0smp and the problem is still there.  I don't
know why I haven't seen it the last time.

Are there more recent XF binaries than 4.2.0-72 available for RHL8?


Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2003-01-26 11:20:43 UTC
There is 4.2.1-something on my mharris/testing/8.0 dirs on people.redhat.com
but it most likely doesn't fix this.  You can test it though nonetheless.
The packages should be as stable or more stable than what is in 8.0, and
haven't been released as erratum more or less because we don't have the
resources to process the erratum currently, but there shouldn't be any
problems with the packages.

I just went through all XFree86 bug reports and classified them all for
drivers.  I noticed along the way about 3-4 bugs almost identical to this
one, so there is a chance it is not driver specific, but a bug in XAA
itself perhaps.

I should be able to debug this sometime though.

Comment 10 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-21 16:16:55 UTC
Uli: Does this issue still exist in Fedora Core 3 or rawhide?  Please let
me know so we can schedule FC4 development time to troubleshoot the issue
if it's still present.

TIA

I don't use that equipment anymore.

Comment 12 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-21 18:45:55 UTC
Ok.  The "radeon" driver has went through several fairly major revisions
since this was initially reported.  I've asked if anyone can reproduce
this in #fedora-devel and #freedesktop using current generation xorg-x11
6.8.2.  So far only recieved "it works fine for me" type responses.  Since
nobody else seems to have reported the bug here, nor in freedesktop bugzilla,
we're going to assume the problem is resolved now.

Should anyone experience the problem again however, please reopen and we
will reinvestigate.

Setting status to CURRENTRELEASE.
