From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.0.6-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: Latest xorg update hangs while starting (xorg process using 100% cpu) or causes entire system to freeze (can't ssh in). This has been duplicated on 3 different machines with 2 and 3 video cards. Removing all but one card seems to fix it. Seems not to matter it it's AGP or PCI. Have fiddled with several different X configurations. Starting on X on all screens, some screens, and one screen. Always produces same result. I feel this is not a duplicate of Bugs 168940, 168937, 168919, or 165116, but may have common cause. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC4 + all updates on a system with multiple ATI Radon 7000 2. Reboot, (re)start X, etc 3. Wait Actual Results: Black screens. Sometimes can SSH in and see X throttling CPU, sometimes SSH machine is fully hung and connection times out. Expected Results: Graphical bliss. Additional info:
I'm seeing the same thing. I have saved copies of Xorg.log files from a hung vs successful run, if they help.
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 is the current update. Please upgrade to that and indicate if the problem still exists or not. If it does, attach your X server log and config file to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments.
Tested new update on fresh install with 1, 2, and 3 cards. It works. Thanks.
Thanks for testing. Setting status to "ERRATA" (fixed in xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2)
