Created attachment 107847 [details] My xinerama xorg.conf
Hi, I get the exact same problem, when running on xinerama on an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 052f Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11 Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at 3000 [size=256] Memory at c0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 according to lspci -v ), on an IBM x31 laptop, when using xinerama or mergedfb. Problem goes away on a single screen. The x.org or kernel updates have not helped (I'm currently running xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21 and kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3. The system does not hang, but the display (on the X screen), keyboard and mouse freeze. It still responds to ACPI events, as pressing the power button executes shutdown -h properly, and the machine eventually shuts down. This problem did not occur in FC2. Thanks, Stefanos
Just to add to this, exiting the x-server or killing it, on runlevel 3, does drop you back to console, without any problems. It's just when switching from X to console and X is running...
To add something else: I have the same problem with recent xorg and another distribution, and when i killed -9 the Xorg server the box went to standby and when i switched it on again X worked again. (namely it was ubuntu) So it's at least not FC3 specific.
This is fixed in the rawhide version of xorg-x11, 6.8.1.901
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback. We'll be releasing 6.8.2 for FC3 in the near future, as well as in rawhide. Thanks again. Setting status to "RAWHIDE"
So where's that 6.8.2 in the "near future?" I'm seeing this problem as well with a Radeon 7500. Had to fall back to FC2 because I just can't stop myself from pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1.
