Only X locks up, while it is possible to ssh into the system. If you do not switch VT manually, killing and restarting X works fine. Xorg.0.log says the following line repeatedly when X locks up: (EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine... Option "NoAccel" prevents this lockup. "RenderAccel" "No" does not prevent this lockup, nor does all XaaNo options when used together.

I have precisely the same problem with my Sony Vaio laptop PCG-C1MAH with Radeon graphics card. The outfrom from lspci -v is: 00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 80ec Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 9 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at 2800 [size=256] Memory at e8110000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 I have tried with Xorg-6.8.1-12 (the original version shipped with fedora core 3) as well as the updated version 6.8.1-12.FC3.21. The problem occurs only when using the internal LCD display and the external VGA output at the same time. The same configuration used to work fine with XFree86 version 4.3. I haven't looked at the code yet, but I would love to know how to fix it.
I also seem to have the same issue, however my machine will hang at startup right after the line, "Starting HAL daemon: [ OK ]". I can ssh into the machine still, and I haven't seen anything in the xorg logs that state the problem. Adding the NoAccel option to the xorg.conf does work around the issue, but then moving windows around or scrolling on the notebook LCD is jumpy. The only work I have is to boot up with the external display disabled, plug in the external, change the xorg.conf with sys-config-display and then restore the backup xorg.conf. Logout and back in again which enables the dual head. However, if I try to switch virtual console, the gui will hang again. Here is the output from lspci -v: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 0530 Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11 Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [disabled] [size=128M] I/O ports at 3000 [disabled] [size=256] Memory at c0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Should be fixed in rawhide now. If the problem persists however, file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla and paste the URL here and reopen and we'll track it. TIA
Hi, can anyone explain me what rawhide means? Should I install the latest fedora test version, or should I at some line to the xorg.conf file? If I need the latest test version can anyone give me some pointers how to get this? thanks. (In reply to comment #9) > Should be fixed in rawhide now.
