Description of problem: Fedora 8 random crashes of X server - laptop completely locks ups no discernible pattern to lockup - sometimes 5 mins - sometimes over 2 hours. The laptop is not recoverable in terms of using ctrl-alt-backspace to reboot X. I have attached a snapshot of what appears to be entries from /var/log/messages files under fglrx. These are attached below. I have compiz installed to run but NOT to run from boot more often the system locks up BEFORE using compiz. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): See attachment How reproducible: difficult - appears to have no pattern! Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 313020 [details] log messages - lspci output - lsmod output and version of fglrx
to follow on from the attachment - showing kernel messages just prior to the messages in the attachment I also found the following: "Jul 30 18:19:36 fedlap1 kernel: [fglrx:firegl_release] *ERROR* device busy: 1 0 Jul 30 18:19:36 fedlap1 kernel: [fglrx] release failed with code -EBUSY"
Thanks for the report. We are sorry that we cannot help you with your problem, but we are not able to support binary-only drivers. If you would be able to reproduce this issue using only open source software, please, reopen this bug with the additional information, but in meantime I have no choice than to close this bug as CANTFIX (because we really cannot fix it).
