Lockup with ATI 7200 and OpenGL apps (like Amarok)

[Taliesin]

Hey guys.

First of all any and all help is appreciated, and please bear with me as I'm a new user to Kubuntu.

Amarok works fine but the 5th analyzer (sorry I don't know the name it's the one in a wave form) will freeze the destop with the only way to resolve the freeze is a hard reboot.

The music continues to play... leaving it to let it attempt to resolve has no effect, soft reboot dosen't work, reset Xdm (ctrl+alt+bspace), and to kill the window (ctrl+alt+esc) no effect either.

The issue seems minor, and it is (just don't use those analyzers ) however we think it may be tied to freezing issues I'm having with another program.

I've had a friend whose versed attempt to help me sort it out but no go so far.

He thinks it's software related, most likely between the xorg ATI radeon driver (radeon 7200 isn't supported under fglrx) and Mesa, don't think this is an issue specific to amarok as it occours in another openGL app.

Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tal

Re: Lockup with ATI 7200 and OpenGL apps (like Amarok)

The problem is likely the fact that the xserver ATI driver currently packaged with Gitsy Gibbon (Tribe 2 + updates) is still not matching the xserver 1.3 included with Gutsy Gibbon.

For the most part, it appears as though all OpenGL/3D/Mesa apps work correctly, however, there do appear to be some very specific cases which cause the display to hang (PS: I'm the afore meantioned friend).

We have tried many options in the xorg.conf file (enable and disable) including AGP settings, backingstore, pageflipping, etc. After going through hundreds of suggestions on various web pages, wiki's and forums, the only thing we can conclude is that there is some issue between the xserver's ATI driver currently included with Gutsy and the Mesa version.

So, the problem can be duplicated and replicated on command via Amarok, but selecting any one of the GL Analyzers. Is there something we can turn on to find out exactly what is happening at the time this locks up? And post back?

The other App this happens in is Neverwinter Nights, which uses Mesa as well and is a 3D RPG. The problem occurs within this game, but not predictably - i.e. the game can run 15 minutes or for an hour. I haven't found exactly what condition or sequence of events cause the lockup there, at least not as exact as in the Amarok example.

We even tried downloading a newer ATI driver (and a snapshot from Jun 25th), but that one made the screen flicker, so we could not test it accurately to verify if this problem had disappeared.

I hope this is useful as a starting point.

I do not believe it is config related.

Taliesin, can you copy/paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (as I am sure they are going to want to see it)

Oh, and any idea if/when the ATI driver will be updated for Gutsy Gibbon? Maybe that will fix once the official update hits...
