Subject: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Crash on start with radeon driver

Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 09:41:52 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-5
Severity: normal

X crashes on start with the radeon driver:

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x84) [0x80c02f4]

Fortunately, the vesa driver still works. I tried falling back to
xserver-xorg-core 1.2.0-5 and xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.3-4 but with
the same results.

I'm attaching the old log file where X crash, as the one picked up by
reportbug is with vesa.

Falling back further, to xserver-xorg-video-ati version 6.6.3-2, I can't
reproduce this and everything seem to work fine.

Could you rebuild the server (xserver-xorg-core) and ATI driver with
debugging information and capture a backtrace with gdb? FYI, there are
details on all this at http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
(replace "hello" with the packages above).

Thank you
Brice

Hi,

Sure, I'm attaching the backtrace. 

BTW, that page doesn't have any tips on getting a backtrace from X.
Maybe one of the examples from this page could be adapted?
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/DebuggingTheXserver . I ended up using "Debugging
with one machine", version 1.

Also, thanks for following up on this bug so fast! :)

Hi,

Any news on this yet? Should I report it directly to upstream instead?

It would be best if you could do that, yes.

[ Follow up for bug 413463 ]

I have reproduced the crash with version 6.6.191-1, but I also figured
out what setting caused the crash:

Option "MergedFB" "false"

The above option seems to be the culprit, as removing it from xorg.conf
lets me start X as usual. 

The reason I added this option in the first place is because otherwise I
have no working Xv for video. (Only a black area where the video should
be).

I'm using a card with both VGA and DVI using a TFT monitor connected to
the VGA port. It seems like X fails to detect that I'm only using one
monitor, and thus gives me no Xv for the VGA port. I tried to fix this
by specifically setting "MonitorLayout" "NONE, TDMS" but it also seems
like my TFT monitor is detected as a CRT, as I needed to specify "NONE,
CRT", otherwise I only get a black screen.

Should I file a separate bug about this?

Looks like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10442
    Option "MergedFB" off leads to segfault
It has been reported this morning.

Let's see what happens in this upstream bug first. We are close to the
6.7 release of the ATI driver, it's a good time to get such bugs fixed.
If you basically copy-paste all what you said above in the upstream bug,
they might tell you to file another bug, we'll see. Of course, feel free
to provide even more details, and to tell them to fix this bug before
releasing 6.7 :)
