Description of problem: I updated my main system at work from F7-latest to rawhide on Tuesday this week. On F7 everything including DRI worked fine beforehand and I used compiz on it for months. But after booting into the freshly updated rawhide X crashed some seconds after gnome started. Sometimes it crashes while the gnome-panel icons show up, more often when I started my gnome-terminal session for irssi with a transparent background. Okay, I said to me, get rid of compiz and try if it works with metacity -- It doesn't, it also crashes after some seconds/when I start the gnome-terminal. Thus I added 'Option "NoDRI" "true"' to /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- that way metacity and the machine works fine. The machine does not crash completely, just X and the graphic card do afaics -- I can still connect via ssh and move the mouse cursor, but I can't kill X using ssh with kill -9 nor by using CTRL+ALT+Backspace. The logs (/var/log/messages, dmesg, /var/log/Xorg.0.log) show no obvious problems. How can I track this issue down further? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-24.fc8 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.193-1.fc8 $ uname -r 2.6.23-0.189.rc6.git8.fc8 How reproducible: Always PCI-IDs: $ /sbin/lspci -s 02:00.* ; /sbin/lspci -s 02:00.* -n 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] 02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary) 02:00.0 0300: 1002:4150 02:00.1 0380: 1002:4170 $ /sbin/lspci -s 00:0b.0 ; /sbin/lspci -s 00:0b.0 -n 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce3 AGP Bridge (rev a4) 00:0b.0 0604: 10de:00d2 (rev a4) Additional Informations: I wanted to report this yesterday already but when I saw that airlied queued a update of xorg-x11-drv-ati I waited another 24 hours to test again. Did that, and the error was still the same. In case of questions you can find me as "knurd" in various fedora-channels on freenode.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Built xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.194-1.fc8 locally -- it crashed as well (but it seems it lasted a bit longer until it crashed)
The system where this happened doesn't exist in its old form anymore. Closing bug.
