Description
I've been experiencing random hard lockups on a oldish HP Pavilion zv5000 laptop that has a
RS300M AGP [Radeon Mobility 9100IGP] [1002:5835]
video card. It seems to be using the r200 driver. When this happens crtl-alt-backpsace/DEL or sysreq-alt-b, etc., do nothing and I have to cycle the power. I've tried lots of things to get a core and/or backtrace and/or oops... but have been unsuccessful; specifically, I've set up remote consoles, redirected things to files, set
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "on"<br>
Option "Log" "flush"<br>
EndSection
in my xorg.conf file.
Here's what seems to be involved:
- I'm always in X
- I have a window that extends or is moved offscreen to the left.
- I move the mouse offscreen to the left.
Unfortunately, these things don't always trigger the problem.
Sorry for the pathetic bug report, but it's all the information I have.
Finally, I have another machine (a desktop) that is running the same software (distribution, git-Xorg, etc.) but which uses the nouveau driver. I have no problems on this machine.
