Hi! It's not only fglrx/ati users problem.
I suppose there is a bug in kernel. Me and my Brother have these observations at all: We both use open source radeon driver for our video cards (radeon 9200). On my Brother's computer, when he back to the first dapper kernel (i386) - problems with hangs up was sloved, but i see that probably will not work for other people. (see the previous comment). on my computer: I try to use the newest kernel: 2.6.17.7. System doesn't freeze when... /dev/agpgart module is disabled! Window manager and gdm works slower than normal but dapper works stable. I hope that will be good sugesstions. When i back to home i can attach kernel .config file or sth. else if You want. When i use official kernel form dapper - the easiest way to make hang up is: - open firefox and - go to: www.avast.com and - then try to nawigate some menus, maybe click once or twice and here we go nice freeze like: -> totally no respond or, -> switch to abnormal resolution on refresh rate 78 Hz (but all works) or, -> make all screen black, without the cursor - cursor is show properly, but not desktop -> or other strange behaviour. ------------- Sometimes when i switch to console(eg. ctrl+alt+f2) and back again to Desktop - everything is OK. Sometimes - when screen gets totally black with showed cursor - swithing to console and back to Desktop: Desktop is showing for 1-2 seconds and then gets blank again (cursor is showin with all the time on Desktop) Best regards and sorry for my english ;-) Pawel -- fglrx hangs/crashes https://launchpad.net/bugs/15178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
