From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: The screen will freeze running gnome or kde with a pci matrox mystique 4mb card at various resolutions/depths (640x480 24, 1280x1024 16). The mouse is still active on the screen but the rest of the screen image is frozen. The machine still seems to be up. I can telnet into the machine and bring it down gracefully. It does not matter whether I use the smp or non smp kernel 2.4.18-10 or 2.4.18-3. I am running with the supermicro p6dne dual pentium pro board. I also tried changing the cache from writeback to write through, disabling posting to pci and vga sections in the bios. When I tried using a nvidia card, the problem went away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.In gnome, grab a window with a lot of image content and vigorously move the window around. 2.The screen will almost always lock up within a few minutes. 3. The original problem was caused by moving the scroll button in a mozilla window but it takes much longer to see the screen freeze. Actual Results: The screen will freeze, but the mouse is still active. Expected Results: The rest of the screen should not be frozen. Additional info: I bet the problem is the bit blt code in the mga(matrox) video driver in the XFree86 release 4.2.0. When I switch to a nvidia geforce2 card, the problem goes away.
