Description of problem: If I have desktop effects on and I switch to a text console, when I switch back to gnome, system crashes (or at least gnome). It stops responding to: - mouse (it doesn't even move) - keyboard in general - switching to a text console in particular - CTRL + ALT + DEL in particular - power button (for a clean shutdown) As I don't know how to use the magic sysrq key and I don't have other computer to try to connect remotely, the only option I have is to press reset and restart the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I have last versions of all installed packages. I don't know exactly which component causes the problem. I list the most probable ones: kernel-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686 gnome-sharp-2.24.0-1.fc10.i386 libgnomekbd-2.24.0-1.fc10.i386 gnome-keyring-sharp-1.0.0-0.2.87622svn.fc10.i386 libgnome-2.24.1-7.fc10.i386 libgnomeui-2.24.0-2.fc10.i386 libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1-4.fc10.i386 gnome-session-2.24.2-1.fc10.i386 gnome-session-xsession-2.24.2-1.fc10.i386 gnome-desktop-2.24.2-1.fc10.i386 PolicyKit-gnome-libs-0.9-3.fc10.i386 PolicyKit-gnome-0.9-3.fc10.i386 libopenraw-gnome-0.0.5-1.fc9.i386 gnome-desktop-sharp-2.24.0-3.fc10.i386 gnome-settings-daemon-2.24.1-3.fc10.i386 gnome-power-manager-2.24.2-2.fc10.i386 gnome-user-share-0.40-3.fc10.i386 libX11-1.1.4-6.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-9.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.9-4.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.2-5.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-filesystem-7.3-2.fc10.noarch xorg-x11-xdm-1.1.6-6.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.3.0-2.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-5.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.3.0-3.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-5.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-61.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-fbdev-0.3.1-7.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Activate desktop effects and switch to a text console and back Steps to Reproduce: 1. Activate desktop effects 2. CTRL + ALT + F3 to switch to a text console 3. CTRL + ALT + F1 to switch back to gnome Actual results: The system hangs Expected results: The systems goes on working normally Additional info: I have an AGP radeon video card. I think the model is 9200. The same happenned with previous version of kernel: 2.6.27.5
After updating to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-62.fc10.i386, the problem persists.

Hi, /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not available. I attach the log file. Thanks a lot.
Created attachment 327564 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10.i386 and kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 do not fix the issue. Happy Christmas! :)
More data, just in case it's useful: I've tried to compile the kernel with AGP, DRM and frame buffer drivers compiled in, and use frame buffer console. The problem persists. Happy new year! :)
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.
