Please test ATI video driver stable branch from xf86-video-ati 'ati-1-0-branch' from git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
This has a number of fixes necessary for some cards. If X only fails occasionally that is unusual... Dave.
Summary: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374986 since 2.6.17-rcSomething X seems to fail at startup, hangs in a kind of loop while doing 4582 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, {SIG_DFL}, {0x2b6d039cdd30, [INT RT_25], SA_RESTORER|SA_INTERRUPT|SA_ONESHOT|0x31f25d8, 0x2b6d039cd9e8}, 8) = ? ERESTARTNOINTR (To be restarted) From what I can see, previous versions did not support my card at all while in the current, /dev/dri* seems to be opened successfully before the problem occurs: 4555 write(0, "drmOpenByBusid: Searching for Bu"..., 53) = 53 4555 geteuid() = 0 4555 write(0, "drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev"..., 43) = 43 4555 stat("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=40, ...}) = 0 4555 stat("/dev/dri/card0", 0x7fff6e5857f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 4555 unlink("/dev/dri/card0") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 4555 mknod("/dev/dri/card0", S_IFCHR|0666, makedev(226, 0)) = 0 4555 chown("/dev/dri/card0", 0, 0) = 0 4555 chmod("/dev/dri/card0", 0666) = 0 4555 open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDWR) = 7 It does not fail if dri X module is not loaded. > > Ok, tried that.

I fetched this one: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm.git/ mesa and installed compiled libs over the libs from the Debian package. Has not changed anything, unfortunately.
