Description of problem: X server is freezing when I use scroll on Firefox. Only connecting via SSH using another machine and issuing a `kill -9' on the X server "solves" the problem. This problem happens randomly, sometimes I use Firefox for 2 weeks without problems, sometimes it freezes in less than 24 hours. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.17.0-8.fc16.x86_64 firefox-12.0-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: As I said above, this problem happens randomly. Nothing strange appears on /var/log/messages. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Use scroll until X freezes 3. Actual results: X freezes. Expected results: X should not freeze. Additional info: I can provide additional info if needed.
When this happens, can you ssh into the machine and attach gdb to the X server? If so, where does the backtrace show you stuck? Also, is there anything in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state when this happens?
Also, which gpu is this with? The output from 'lspci -n -s 0:2' is sufficient.
(In reply to comment #2) > Also, which gpu is this with? The output from 'lspci -n -s 0:2' is sufficient. Hi Adam, Thanks for the reply. This is the requested output: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:2a42 (rev 07) 00:02.1 0380: 8086:2a43 (rev 07) In a moment I will try to cause X to freeze, ssh into the machine and run GDB as requested.
Here is the full backtrace of X when it freezes. Also, /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state doesn't show any errors.
