Description of problem: I intalled Phoebe on a GRX 600 series VAIO laptop that was running RH 8.0 nicely. If I leave DRM (load "dri") enabled, when I log out the machine will lock solid. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.2.99.2-0.20021217.0 kernel-2.4.20-2.2 How reproducible: 100%, although sometimes I need to log in and log out more than once for it to happen (not usually). Steps to Reproduce: 1. using default XFree86 config with 'Load "dri"' in place, log in 2. log out 3. Actual results: Machine hangs Expected results: login screen should come back Additional info: If I comment the 'Load "dri"' line out, the hang doesn't happen. I get the same behavior when I use the stock Phoebe kernel and when I use one I built myself (that has a different ACPI patch). I actually upgraded to a manually recompiled XFree86-4.2.99.2-0 XFree86 (from rawhide) shortly before Phoebe came out (I would have waited for Phoebe, had I known it was coming out), and that's when I first started seeing this hang. However, when I upgraded to Phoebe I double-checked to make sure I get the official Red Hat compiled binaries (so you won't be chasing a Red Herring). Before I upgraded to the rawhide release I was running the stock Red Hat 8.0 XFree86 version and was using DRM and not seeing the hang.
The chip as described by /proc/pci is: Bus 1, device 0, function 0: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW (rev 0). IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=66. Min Gnt=8. Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf0000000 [0xf7ffffff]. I/O at 0x3000 [0x30ff]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe8100000 [0xe810ffff]. and by XFRee86 it's: (--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP) found p.s. I see the XFree86 4.2.99.3 README explicitly say that the radeon driver will be worked on between now and the release of XFree86 4.3.0, but I don't see any acknowledgment of actual kernel hangs or any other explanation of what the XFree86 people already know is bad about the radeon driver.

This also happens to me with a stock new install on an Athlon XP1800+, Radeon 7500 graphics card desktop machine. I have to hit the reset button after every logout. I have not explicitly set any parameters for my video card; they are whatever the default install provides.
Created attachment 89054 [details] X configuration file The temporary hack comment was left there from when I had commented out the Load "dri" line. The comment doesn't make sense since Load "dri" isn't commented out.
Created attachment 89055 [details] log file for XFree86 run when system hung
Created attachment 89056 [details] /var/log/messages starting from the boot of the RH kernel that froze
I haven't done it enough times to be statistically significant, but twice when I was trying to get the log file, I booted, logged in, started a terminal, typed "sync", waited for the disk activity light to finish, logged out and the system did not freeze. Instead I was able to log in again. Then I logged out immediately and the system froze. So there's a chance that disk activity contributes to the lock up. It may also have just been coincidence.
