Comment 5 Andreas Tunek 2013-05-02 12:12:40 UTC
Might be a problem in the radeon driver, I am not sure.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2013-05-03 05:25:30 UTC
it's a problem in X somewhere, it sure seems like. Can you follow the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems instructions? We might possibly get something more out of the drm debug stuff. There may also be some kind of conflict between Intel and Radeon, I guess this is a dual adapter system.

Comment 7 Andreas Tunek 2013-05-03 12:12:19 UTC
You mean this:

output of the dmesg command (please add drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=16M as boot parameters and reboot), especially in case of crashes 

How exactly should my boot parameters look on the live image booter?

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2013-05-03 23:05:39 UTC
Just add those two parameters to whatever's there already.

dmesg with proper command line argument (from TC3)

Comment 10 Andreas Tunek 2013-05-06 12:27:11 UTC
Tested on TC3, same results.

Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2013-05-06 17:54:03 UTC
Re-assigning to X server for now - this seems to be an X issue, but I'm not sure if it's in the intel driver, radeon driver, or something that needs to bash both their heads together. ajax?

Comment 12 Andreas Tunek 2013-05-14 13:14:42 UTC
Tested on TC4, same results.

Comment 13 Andreas Tunek 2013-05-14 13:16:13 UTC
Proposed for freeze exception.

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2013-05-15 23:38:59 UTC
Discussed at 2013-05-15 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-15/f19beta-blocker-review-6.2013-05-15-16.02.html . We would need some input from the developer before we could really vote on this - how intrusive is the fix? How safe? How many users are affected? It's hard to make a call without some kind of idea about the nature of the bug and the fix.

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2013-05-20 18:59:06 UTC
Discussed at 2013-05-20 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-20/f19beta-blocker-review-7.2013-05-20-16.07.log.txt . We still don't have developer input here, but as it's now later in the Beta cycle we are stricter on FE status: this is rejected, as it's not clear what needs to be done and this bug appears to be limited in impact.

Comment 16 Andreas Tunek 2013-05-25 20:30:09 UTC
Seems to work now.....
