Description Joachim Frieben 2009-07-21 15:57:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
For recent "rawhide", the "radeon" driver leads to a lock up of X when a window is dragged, and the active window manager is metacity.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-19.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start GNOME session
2. Open new GNOME terminal.
3. Click title bar in order to move the window.
  
Actual results:
X aborts, and a new instance of GDM is launched.

Expected results:
Window can be moved around.

Additional info:
- Changing the video driver to "vesa" allows to restore a working GNOME desktop.
- Windows can be moved successfully after enabling desktop effects, too.
- Installed packages include:
  * kernel-2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12.x86_64
  * metacity-2.27.0-2.fc12.x86_64
  * xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-19.fc12.x86_64
  * xorg-x11-server-*-1.6.99-9.20090706.fc12.x86_64

Comment 4 Joachim Frieben 2009-07-21 18:07:37 UTC 
- EXA makes X crash when a window is moved
- XAA works correctly (obtained with kernel 2.6.29.6-213.fc11 since "rawhide"
  kernels do not support option "nomodeset" currently, see bug 510673)
Comment 5 Pete Zaitcev 2009-07-22 00:40:10 UTC 
Please check if this is a dup of bug 512551, resolved in Rawhide.
Symptoms look the same to me.
Comment 6 Joachim Frieben 2009-07-22 07:11:57 UTC 
(In reply to comment #5)
Due to bug 511930, I am currently unable to verify proper function for the more recent X packages.
Comment 7 Joachim Frieben 2009-07-22 18:04:33 UTC 
Issue is gone even for the X packages reported above after installing the latest updates from the development tree.
