anyone has random freeze workround?????
I am experiencing a random freeze with the ATI Fgl driver 8.8.25. Mouse is useable but nothing can be clicked on the screen. My keyboard is not responding. My machine can be accessed through SSH but there is no error in xfree or dmesg log. System cannot be rebooted. Does this issue have been resolved by ATI? Or anyone has a workaround except switching back to Xfree or X.org Radeon driver? My spec: Debian Sid Radeon 9700 pro 1GB RAM P4 3.0Ghz 160GB SATA XFree 4.3 Vanilla kernel 2.6.10 ATI Fgl driver 8.8.25 (from Flavio Stanchina Debian package) |

None of these threads have any real solution to your problem, but perhaps you should check them out and see if anything is familar. http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33800533 http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33800265 http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33800068 |

Does ATI know about this issue? I read the FAQ, Release Notes, Installation Guide from ATI website, none of them mention about random freeze with their driver. If they do know this problem, ATI should be more honest with their release notes, describe to the end users all the known bugs. Although it might be few pages, at least we know they know the problem and working on them. I read the other threads, tried all of them, none of them solve my problem. Sometimes it freeze after 1 week or it can be a couple of hours. |

I still get this freeze while scrolling through a page in Konqueror (Radeon 9000 Mobility). It happens on average every 2-3 days. This has been going on since 3.14.1 at the least, possibly since I first got this card at 3.11. If I switch back to the open source driver it is gone. |

Does anyone know if this problem occur with 2.4 kernel? It seems this problem is not common for everybody who is using ATI Fgl driver. Do you think a hardware compatiblity issue? Anyone who has similar problem please post your hardware spec. Mine is Gigabyte with Intel 875P Radeon 9700 pro Dual Channel 1Gb DDR Intel 3.0Ghz Prescott Debian Sid + Xfree 4.3 |

Hmm well there are some similarities to our hardware: Gigabyte 8KNXP Intel 875p Radeon 9500 pro Dual Channel 2Gb DDR Intel 2.4c HT enabled Seagate 160 GB SATA e88z4, have you had problems with the earlier ati-drivers?

Exactly as described: Mouse moveable, nothing clickable, ssh-into-able, no interesting log messages. Most of the time, I was scrolling quite complicated web pages (e.g. forums!) in Mozilla, when these lockups occured. The problem "went away" when using a Mobility Fire GL2 (Radeon 9600). Even with fglrx > 3.9.0. So this would indeed suggest, it is hardware compatibility related... |
