[Bug 374831] Re: Jaunty locks up

 

@Tom, note that it might still be a kernel issue even though it's
significantly less likely (it might be that while X is running the
kernel is exposed to a different workload and maybe that causes the
kernel to exercise a few different execution paths).

FWIW, I have a box with a "RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] [1002:4150]" graphics
card which didn't show any overnight lockups in jaunty and doesn't show
such problems in karmic either. Your graphics card "RV350 AS [Radeon
9550]" sounds pretty similar to mine.

Trying with "NoAccel" "true" and then later also with "DRI" "false"
would be very useful for making progress on this bug. If both of those
hang we could also try to run the machine overnight using the "vesa"
graphics driver instead of the -ati driver.

Another useful thing to investigate if whether it hangs if you boot the
live CD and leave that running overnight (because this would completely
rule out that there is some non-standard config file change on the box
causing these problems).

Currently, I don't think this bug report has sufficient information to
be able to file a good upstream bug report to the developers.
