2006-03-28 17:18:47 magilus description Hi, my system freezed often when using gnome since I upgraded to hoary. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 512 MB takems memory, an CLUB-3D Radeon 7000 and a PC-Chips M848A. I exchanged everything excluding my graphic card, my motherboard and my cpu. Now, I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and changed the Driver entry in the Device section from "ati" to "vesa". Now my system doesn't freeze. That's because I think that it's a bug in the xorg package in Ubuntu. It would be great when you fix it. Thanks, Martin Ubuntu freezes randomly when using the radeon or ati Xorg driver with Radeon 7000 cards. After disabling dri in Xorg.conf the system does not freeze anymore. This happens in Hoary, Breezy, Dapper.

2006-07-17 18:36:42 Oliver Storch xserver-xorg-driver-ati: statusexplanation Reopening.. Happened just again. I also have this Problem (freeze 10 to 60 seconds after graphical logon) on my Pentium 4 Dual Core, using an SMP kernel in combination with a Radeon 7000, using the "ati" or "radeon" driver in my xorg.conf. I recently uninstalled my debian (which I was using for 3 years until last week quite luckily), because I did an upgrade to testing (gaining newer applications) and the error occured after that. Because I thought the testing version was the problem, I switched to Ubuntu 6.06 and everything went fine with the 386 kernel, but having installed the 686 kernel, the freeze came again. Then I installed an arch linux and the error occured once again using gnome, also using twm (instead of gnome with metacity). So, now I conclude that the free radeon/ati driver is the problem. Using "vesa" drivers is not really an option, because I cannot use vertical refresh rates higher than 60 Hz, what is really an ugly flickering. After turning off the "dri" option, the radeon driver does well, but dri would be really nice when playing tuxracer or so.
