one of the recent updates changed the behaviour. I can now always see the ingame screen and sometimes even move around for a few seconds. Also some new stuff in dmesg.
After some research I was also able to enable sysrq again, so I did a sysrq L. I also found a Troubleshooting site on the ubuntu wiki that pointed to the usage of radeontool and the /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0 directory so I copied some files ( that seemed relevant judging by their name) from there, too. And I'd appreachiate it if someone with a tiny bit more knowledge could give me a hand here. Either helping me in obtaining more informations or even fixing the problem. I mean, this is something like a dream-bug for a software developer with knowledge of the subsystems involved. It's 100% reproducible. What more do you need? ** Attachment added: "dmesg_sysrq_l.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1438303/+attachment/4369709/+files/dmesg_sysrq_l.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438303 Title: Radeon driver freezes GPU (reproducible) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1438303/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
