radeon: x-server crashes when switching to console.
Last modified: 2006-06-13 10:47:44 UTC
The radeon Xserver sometimes crashes with SIG 11 when switching to a console. I have seen this on 2 systems, one 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] and one 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300] The logs i'll attach are from the Radeon9600.
Created attachment 66177 [details] the crash during installation (the "test this setup" Xserver)
Created attachment 66179 [details] crash in the installed system note that it now no longer crashes on the 9600, i have since then updated fontconfig and removed the .fonts.cache-2 files (although i think this should be unrelated)
Christian also sees this on his Thinkpad X40.
Created attachment 66182 [details] Logfile which shows crash on T40
I remember seen a similar report on one of the X.Org mailing lists. Benjamin commented on this.
It crashes on a T40. And only when I switch to console while Desktop is starting. After that, i can switch to console and back without problems.
It crashes also on a X32 with Radeon chipset. Should I attach the log as well? It seems the X server does not crash as long as nothing happens. If I'm logged in and run eg. "for i in `seq 20` ; do ( xterm & ) ; done" and immediately switch to the console, X crashes reliably.

FWIW, there's a good chance that this wouldn't happen with current xserver/xorg CVS. There's no question that the radeon cursor code could use a good cleanup though. =============================================================================== Unfortunately no patch available. :-(
i had massive crashes today, although without switching to a VT. First it crashed when i was starting an xterm. Then i could reproducably crash the Xserver by logging in, starting konversation and clicking on konversation's titlebar. I'll attach a xorg.log.old so you can check if this is the same crash or a new, better one.
Created attachment 66470 [details] Xorg.0.log.old from "konversation titlebar" crash i switched to radeonold driver which does not (yet) crash.
I decided to revert the related changes in the radeon driver. Closing as FIXED therefore.
works in 10.1 final
