Description of problem: You appear to be able to switch VTs once; once you switch back to X, you get a black screen, the screen blanks a few times, and then the box is hung. Disabling DRI fixes it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.14.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.0-2.fc9
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.
Created attachment 291291 [details] Xorg.0.log when crashed with 'Ctl-Alt-F7' I can verify this...... I attach Xorg.0.log when this crashed. I had started system in 'runlevel 3', logged in, and brought up graphical environment using 'startx'. 'Ctl-Alt-F1' works to bring up text console, but 'Ctl-Alt-F7' does bad things: random appearing pattern on completely unresponsive screen/system. Had to powercycle.
Also can confirm that turning off DRI in xorg.conf makes this work.
Created attachment 292873 [details] Xorg.0.log from vt switch Here's my Xorg log of the same thing.
Created attachment 292874 [details] Xorg.0.log from enabling compiz Here's an X log from a very similar crash while enabling compiz. This looks like the same issue, even. If not, I can file it separately.
Created attachment 292875 [details] backtrace from enabling compiz Here's the backtrace I got when I enabled compiz. This goes with the log posted just now.
Created attachment 292876 [details] /var/log/messages from enabling compiz Here is what happened in /var/log/messages when I enabled compiz. Again, goes with the log and backtrace just posted.
Taking off the NEEDINFO. If this is the same crash, which I think it is, that might help a bit.
Disabling DRI looks awfully like that you may join the part which is now hot at bug 428813 (I see zack, that you are already there). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 428813 ***
