From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: I am running a 96meg ram P200 with A 2mb Matrox Mystique at 1152x864 16bpp and 256mb swap partition. My system locks on a fresh install after scrolling or sliding the task bar to the side. (My guess is any large move of video memory). This has only appeared since running 7.1 and continues even after upgrading to Xfree86.org's latest release 4.1.0. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a window 2. Use the scroll bar. - or - 3. Slide the task bar to the side. Additional info: I am an expert when it comes to any MS operating system but somewhat at at a loss when it comes to Linux (I am just trying to make the switch). I can program in C/Assembly so if you need any addtional information I am sure I can supply it.
I beleave this is due to lack of videoram on your system. 1152x864x2=1,990,656=almost entire 2 Mb. X might want some extra space for buffering, textures, etc. Reduce resolution to something like 800x600. Is the problem still there?
I have tried that... but it didn't work. I ran at 1152x864 16bpp on the previous version of XFree86 and it worked just fine.
Attach logs + configs
It is definitely a problem with XFree86. I installed Mandrake 8.0 with 4.x and the same problem occured. I then installed Mandrake 8.9 with 3.3 and the problem was no longer found. I am going to re-install Redhat (It is much better than Mandrake) and I will attach the log files... but I need to know which files and their locations. Sorry... but I have been stuck in Dos/Windows land since the beggining of time (seemingly).
It is most likely a 2D acceleration bug. I need your info to proceed though. We can narrow it down if it is an XAA bug.
I need your config file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, your X server log /var/log/XFree86.0.log, and your kernel log /var/log/messages to proceed troubleshooting. Once I have that, we can try different configuration options to try and narrow things down. I also recommend updating to XFree86-4.1.0-15 and our latest kernel errata which were released not too long ago. Thanks in advance.
Closing bug due to inactivity.
