Created attachment 320959 [details] X log after a few minutes, X locks up. I can ssh in, but gdb on the process doesn't tell me much..

iirc we didn't enable DRI on this chip in F9, whereas now it's enabled by default. On a hunch, I generated a config file with X -configure, and commented out the Load "dri" and added an Option "DRI" "no" When I restart X, the log contains.. (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI (**) RADEON(0): Option "DRI" "no" (II) RADEON(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0 so it seems to ignore everything I told it to. additional fail: Once X has started, I can't get to the terminals on ttys1-6 any more. ctrl-alt-whatever still shows the last thing that X displayed.
this doesn't seem to be an overly popular card, at least not from the mailing list traffic and bugzilla traffic. I don't believe I'd slip Preview for this bug, maybe not even final release. I'm moving over to F10Target.
This adapter is the integrated video on a very large number of notebooks with the ATI RS4XX integrated chipset.
airlied mentioned something about blacklisting or otherwise fixing up this card; moving back to Blocker to ensure we get whatever we needed there.

Is there any work around for this?
Does installing the kernel available at http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.27.5/113.fc10/ help at all?
I loaned the failing laptop to ajax, so I can't test it right now.
(In reply to comment #7) > Does installing the kernel available at > http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.27.5/113.fc10/ help at > all? No it doesn't. Not better, not worse.
so the symptoms are the same X lockups after a few minutes? can you please try the latest xorg-x11-server from koji 1.5.3-5 to see it it helps.
Setting to modified as we think it's fixed in the latest Xorg server.
Actually closing. Please re-open if you have this exact bug, or file a new one if you have a different bug.
I still experience this bug on Fedora F10 preview, fully updated. I've got an RS480 chipset, x200m. Attching my xorg.log.0 System Info: Linux picard 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:19:59 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-5.fc10.i386
Created attachment 324347 [details] X Log
This still affects *some* xpress 200m chips, but 'nomodeset' seems to be a viable workaround.
Can someone try Option "EXANoComposite" "true" in xorg.conf This might be a bit slow but I just want to narrow down where the hang is coming into play.
I've just kicked off a new kernel build in koji. kernel-2.6.27.5-123.fc10 it'll appear here when finished. http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.27.5/123.fc10/ Can some rs480 users install it and see if it helps with these issues? with modesetting running of course.
Also if you can try xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-57 on top of that kernel and see does it help any that would be great.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Hey guys - I'm pretty much a newb, but i'm running into the same issues. The nomodeset kernel opt will allow me to boot. The issue started after installing the proprietary ATI drivers (8.11). lspci shows: VGA Compatible Controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Express 1100 IGP] I was able to install the above kernel-devel and kernel-headers but kernel failed with a dep required (kernel-firmware >= 2.6.27.5-123) I wasn't able to get my hands on that pkg to test the kernel. Also, I wasn't able to locate the xorg ati driver (build 57). The latest I have is 6.9.0-54. I'm more than happy to help the cause here, but again, it's a learning process. Let me know if you need any further info.
Gateway MX6421 laptop with Radeon Express 200M locks up on a regular basis with Fedora 10 (latest updates applied). The keyboard and mouse are non-responsive and I have not tried SSHing into the box. If you have any options to try or a beta driver, e-mail me and I'll try to test it. If dmesg or xorg logs are desired, please send me an e-mail. Note that this system has been up nearly continuously with Fedora 6 for several years with very good results. I finally decided to reload it with F10 and have spent most of the afternoon trying to get it to work.... The non-free drivers won't load either. As I need this machine I will either have to use XP on it (dual boot), or downgrade to Fedora 9. (Also note that the CD-ROM died so I have to do an install using the kernel and initrd copied to the hard disk - PITA.)
Just another data point: I have an HP nx6125 laptop, with an ATI Xpress 200M card. Hardware info at: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_12bb8d72-171e-4c11-9e8c-eeff3ce3682b, lspci in bug #240343. On my system, using modeset (the default), X hangs after a bit (usually a 'find /' run on a gnome-terminal makes the system hang after few seconds). The system seems to work (e.g. I can do Alt-SysRQ commands). I have not tried to login via ssh. The hang doesn't happen using 'nomodeset' kernel option, OR reverting to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-38.fc10.i386. Changing the kernel doesn't seems to make any difference, I have tried -117 (from repo), -123 and -130 (both from koji). Adding 'option "EXANoCompositing" "true"' also makes the system stable, but the 'find /' command runs so slow that maybe ad this speed the problem simply doesn't trigger. I will attach the Xorg.0.conf after a crash, the messages.txt log after pressing Alt-SysRQ with 'W', 'P', 'Q' 'D'. All this with -123 kernel and -54 ati driver. (I have also the logs using nomodeset, with EXANoCompositing, and other combinations, but those seems to me less useful, I you need those just ask)
Created attachment 325075 [details] Xorg.0.log after crash It contains a backtrace and some errors near the end.
Created attachment 325076 [details] full boot log extracted from /var/log/messages.txt This contains the info relevant to the boot that end in a X hang. At the end there is the output of Alt-SysRQ Q, W, P, D (and maybe something else I don't remember right now). As you an guess, the system is alive enough to handle the sysrq commands, run syslog and write the output to the log file.
I have the exact same problem going on with my HP 5120us laptop I just upgraded from a very stable Fedora 9 i386 install. I also did a clean install of x86_64 and it's doing the same exact thing. AFter a few minutes, X locks up cold.

Created attachment 325132 [details] Xorg.0.log showing lockup of ATI 200m card
I have just tried kernel-2.6.27.7-132.fc10.i686 from koji, using xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-54.fc10.i386 (the "current" release from "fedora" repo), and a "find /" inside a gnome-terminal still hangs X. I can report dmesg, Xorg.log and other info if needed.
As recommended, I tried the nomodeset kernel option and the laptop is now usable (add nomodeset to the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf). The laptop is still setup for runlevel 3 and I have to use startx to start X windows but it works. However, when I tried to logout of X, the laptop hung so all is not fixed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
