From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; da-DK; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Fedora freezes when trying to play Steam games using the Cedega windows game emulator from TransGaming. Some people says that it's also happening to other games. It's happening both using their GUI program called Point2Play, and the CLI emulator. I think it's a hardware combination problem when using ATI's drivers. I'm using the latest drivers and the latest FC4 kernel. I've created a thread about it in TransGaming's forum here with more information: http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=23107 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Steam from www.steampowered.com using Cedega. 2. Doubleclick on a game. 3. The machine freezes completely, and restarting X don't even work. Actual Results: My computer freezes. Expected Results: The game should have started. Additional info: My computer: Motherboard: ASUS A7V600 GFX card: ATI Radeon 9700 Pro RAM: 2x512MB Kingston pc3200 Sound card: Creative SB Live! 5.1 Distro: 100% updated Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4
Sorry, I also have an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ cpu... Forgot that :(
