Hello there,
I have a PowerPC Mac Mini with a Radeon 9200 inside, and did a fresh
install of Debian Sid on that. I got bitten by bug #457563, where
starting X would instantaneously freeze the machine, but upgrading to
the latest experimental version of xserver-xorg-video-ati fixed that, as
suggested.
However, I now have the problem that the machine freezes when the X
server is stopped... Just a hard freeze when I try to logout, or
shutdown the machine, or restart gdm; anything that kills the X server
causes the entire machine to lock up. My Xorg.0.log contains no
information about stopping X.
The same freeze occurs when I try to start a second X, via "X :1"
A random guess would be try adding
Option "AGPMode" "4"
or "8" to the Device section of your xorg.conf (or Option "BusType"
"PCI"). But this generally helps fixing crashes near X startup, not when
leaving X like here.
Did you ever try another 6.7.19x package from experimental (apart from
the buggy 6.7.197)? It would be nice to know when the problem first
appeared. These old packages are available through snapshot.debian.net
