One of the problems is the large number of bugzilla entries on
bugzilla.redhat.com (40 bugs just against xorg-x11-drv-ati), and
upstream on
bugs.freedesktop.org, and the relationships between the two
lists is particularly hairy (definitely not a one-to-one relationship,
more like many-to-many ;-), and maybe a few maybe-to-none :-( ). So
sorting through the lists is not for the faint of heart...
This problem has been especially frustrating because...
1) It cannot be reproduced easily on demand. Sometimes I can go days or
even weeks without it happening.
2) When the deadlock happens, no methods seem able to get any debug
information.
How useful is this kind of bug report? Not very. =(
Has anyone else noticed this lockup with Radeon 7500 happen only when
moving the mouse?
