Yo,
Is anyone else seeing instability in recent X600 builds in Fedora (when using 3D desktop effects)? I'm getting occasional X server crashes that never used to happen with this driver - I haven't had chance to track down when it started happening in as of yet but the box stability is restored by disabling desktop effects. I need this box, but I'll schedule some crash time over the weekend or something.
Next time it happens, I'll capture the X server output. There's no oops but a reproducer seems to be along the lines of:
- Login to desktop
- Restart VPN and connect to remove IRC proxy
- xchat goes nuts with popups catching up replay traffic
- kernel ringbuffer shows random segfaults from e.g. DBUS
No useful information, but I (finally after about 8 hours of banging my head against a wall) managed to get F10 installed on this laptop and fully updated to rawhide over the weekend. After about 45 minutes of use X froze hard. No mouse, not keyboard, no nothin'. I didn't turn on anything but defaults on the Beta installer and yum update.
I gave up and booted back into F9 since I do all my work on this thing. But if there is someway I might be able to collect something useful let me know!
