Subject: [xserver-xorg-video-geode] mouse and desktop killed on Geode client

Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 12:58:47 +0100

Package: xserver-xorg-video-geode
Version: 2.11.1-1~bpo50+1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

We use LTSP 5 on Debian Lenny. Clients are good old PC working perfectly and 4 
Thincan DBE62D-700. I've done a bios upgrade on the Thincans to fix a system 
freeze  (see #539178).
Since that update we see random freeze of the mouse on the Thincans. We use 
KDE desktop. Applications and GUI are still working, the desktop itself become 
black (kdesktop killed), but the taskbar, the K menu, etc. are still running.

I know that backports packages are not suported, but as I have debug 
informations,  I guess it might help you for new versions.

I will revert the package to version 2.10.1

Here's the debug informations with the step by step operations. 
I give you 2 cases.

1. GENERAL CASE
- mouse and keyboard are ps/2 on the same usb converter.

user was copying a picture by drag and drop:
mouse freezed, black desktop (kdesktop killed) but applications, K menu, 
taskbar  and keyboard still running.
user closed the session normaly
still no mouse on ldm 
restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace
still no mouse
user plugged a usb mouse: it works, but the ps/3 mouse no
try to unplug/plug the usb/ps2 converter: no mouse ad no keyboard

The ps2/usb converter was tested on another station: works fine.

Here's the debug from dmesg:

Does this also apply to 2.11.6-3~bpo50+1 from backports?

I'm very sorry, I can see that Martin-Eric asked several time if this bug 
apply to new packages but I totally forgot to follow this bug that I reported.

After some brief testing and asking to users:
- we revert the package to version 2.10.1-2
- I've removed one Geode client (Thincan DBE62D-700) where we have had 
difficulties to do a Bios update in 2009.
After that:
- nobody seems to remember about a freeze
- even if it happened, it didn't happened more than 1 or 2 time in one year 
with 3 Geode client in use.

From my point of view this bug was more a hardware than software bug and _can 
be closed_. But I can do some test next week, with the removed Geode client, 
if you want.

regards
and awfully sorry for being so late to answer

In that case, I will close this bug.  Please feel free to re-open if
it appears that 2.11.9 has not fixed it.
