Description Joachim Werner 2005-10-27 18:46:52 UTC

Machine is a Medion (Aldi) Centrino notebook with ATI graphics. See hwinfo attachment for details.

After switching to console 2 (or any other text console) and back to the running X, machine freezes (no remote login possible, network dead).

Screen is split into an upper half, displaying a reduced-size, corrupted view of the shell with some green in it and the lower half with the content of the X session before it crashed.

The last thing the machine writes to /var/log/Xorg.0.log is:

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
(II) RADEON(0): [RESUME] Attempting to re-init Radeon hardware.
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] Mode 0x1f000201 [AGP 0x8086/0x3340; Card 0x1002/0x4e50]

Full log is attached.

Nothing obvious I can find in the logfile. Could you add the /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well?

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-10 15:41:24 UTC

Joe, still alive?

Added xorg.conf.

Comment 6 Joachim Werner 2005-11-10 15:58:19 UTC

What I forgot to mention in the original report is that the machine was not installed from scratch, but updated from 9.2=>9.3=>10.0.

On 9.3 I used the ATI fglrx driver.

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-10 16:00:41 UTC

Ok. Remove the

  Load         "dri"

line. You probably need to reboot your machine afterwards. Does this help?
Could you figure out whether it's related to STR or STD?

Comment 8 Joachim Werner 2005-11-10 16:12:28 UTC

Ok, that worked.

Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-11 16:35:37 UTC

This problem won't happen normally.
