Kernel Version: 2.6.8-rc1 Status: NEW Severity: high Owner: jsimmons@infradead.org Submitter: jose.l.cordova@seagate.com Distribution: FC2 Hardware Environment: Intel D865GLX, 3.2 GHz hyperthreaded P4, ATI Radeon 9600SE Software Environment: fb consoles, gnome Problem Description: I have upgraded to 2.6.7 with patch-2.6.8-rc1.bz2 (earlier versions seem to have other radeonfb problems). After fixing the kernel oops reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125841 using patch https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=101570&action=view, I could install the new kernel with built-in radeonfb support. But now, the system crashes when exiting from an X-session. Steps to reproduce: The system boots up and looks perfect, with two cute penguins and all. The following happens regardless of whether I start at init 3 and run startx from a console or go directly into init5. My Gnome session starts flawlessly, and if I cat /proc/fb I get the 9600 information. The problem is when I either log out from gnome, or try to access a console via ctrl-alt-f#. The consoles are pure garbage, and the system is hard-locked, requiring the reset button. For the x drivers I am running with module support for agp, agp_intel, and dri, but I am using the proprietary ATI driver fglrx to get 3D acceleration (this, by the way, also works well using both the kernel of the internal agp support). I don't know how to get logs for this, since the system dies completely. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
