xorg-driver-fglrx with compiz crash system (Radeon HD3470)

[desss]

Driver Version 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.13-19.45
videocard Radeon HD3470
Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-35ep-ds3l

After a few hour of active using of PC with compiz i got system crash. And i can't do anything throuth keyboard, only reset button. i think it's video-driver, because i had look a strange effect on screen just before system die.

I'll send a xorg.log with some aixgl errors.

i hope to see updates soon:-)

Please test with the latest AMD driver release (8-7 at this time).

so.... i found on ati site latest catalyst...they are write tath radeon hd 3470 is supported by it.
well... i had download it, installed and had run aticonfig --initial and aticonfig --initial=check. It wrote all fine, fgrlx section found. Ok... let's restart X. Done. Try to run compiz - white screen for a few seconds and then message that it can't enable.

In xorg.log i found error.
(EE) fglrx(0): firegl_SetSuspendResumeState FAILED -1003.
Please see in attachment.

Can you also post your dmesg? It sounds like the kernel module isn't
loaded.

Or possibly the wrong kernel module version was loaded. Make sure you give
it a clean boot or rmmod fglrx/modprobe fglrx.

You were right.

rmmod fglrx/modprobe fglrx
ERROR: Module modprobe does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module fglrx does not exist in /proc/modules

I found a few files in /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.24-19-generic/fglrx

fglrx.mod.o
firegl_public.o
libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4

but not any mention of it in /proc/modules

[desss (desss)]

auuuu!!! :)

[desss (desss)]

well.. finally i had install fglrx and had add params from this page http://www.compiz.org/ATI to my xorg.conf.

Errors in xorg.log are the same.
Driver is 8.8 version.

[desss (desss)]

So... if make aiglx disabled in xorg.conf DRI not load and videocard works slow (scrolling with breakouts).

P.S. Guys, could you tell me for somebody who can fix bugs in that damn driver?

[desss (desss)]

9.8 version of driver. The same errors still exists.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Good day desss,

I've just uploaded a new 8.543 version of -fglrx to Intrepid which now should work with xserver 1.5. Would you mind testing this new version and reporting back whether this issue is still present? If it is, it would be helpful if you could (re-)post your Xorg.0.log from running with this version. Thanks ahead of time.

If you don't have Intrepid installed on your system, you can test this by booting an Intrepid LiveCD (available from cdimage.ubuntu.com), using either the -vesa or -ati driver, then update to the latest version of Ubuntu, install fglrx, and then logout and back in. Your /var/log/Xorg.0.log will confirm whether you've loaded FGLRX successfully.

If you find any new issues, please report them as separate bugs. You can use the tool `ubuntu-bug fglrx-installer` which will gather the necessary files and create the launchpad report for you to fill in more easily.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Is anyone still seeing this issue on Intrepid? Otherwise we'll close the bug as expired.

[desss (desss)]

i had installed another fglrx-driver, 8.11 (8.55) but errors like (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23 still presents in xorg.log

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Those warning messages are normal.

Since there seems to not be evidence of crashing, closing the bug. If people are able to reproduce the crash, collect a full backtrace (directions are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing) and reopen this bug.

[DaveAbrahams (boostpro)]

No time to reproduce it today and get a backtrace, but I can confirm the bug (or something very like it) is still present on Intrepid. I am running fglrx + compiz, and if I play enough video in that configuration Xorg will reliably crash... eventually.

I'm reopening this bug so that you'll bug me about it before closing and hopefully that'll be when I have more time to produce a backtrace, if I haven't already got around to it.

[desss (desss)]

i have this trouble in interpid whithout compiz. It dissapeared after driver update to last version in repository, but when enable compiz video picture have horizontal blinked lines.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

[Setting to Incomplete awaiting backtrace]

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

[Tim Besard (maleadt)]

Confirming what Dave Abrahams describes: playing video with fglrx and compiz enabled crashes the server -- after a while. No instant crash, most of the time after some seconds.

[Tim Besard (maleadt)]

Forgot to mention: using fully updated Jaunty. HW: Radeon HD4870.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

I've posted a new version of the -fglrx driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get fglrx 8.620 here:
