[19:23] <johanbr> Hi. I'm trying to help someone with a Radeon 7500 card (using the radeon driver). When he tries to use 1440x900, the computer hardlocks, but only if connected via DVI (VGA works fine). Any ideas? [19:23] <johanbr> I got him to try the git ati driver from the ppa. No improvement. [22:39] <bryce> hey all, just got home [22:40] <bryce> johanbr: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing is probably your next step [22:41] <johanbr> bryce: Thanks. Is that likely to work if X locks up hard when running normally? [22:41] <johanbr> I.e., when not run under gdb or anything like that. [22:51] <bryce> johanbr: if you can ssh into the box, then yes [22:52] <bryce> if you cannot login to the box then the lockup may be a kernel issue instead [22:52] <bryce> see that page for full discussion (and don't be afraid to add some questions to that page if it is unclear) [22:53] <johanbr> Alright, I'll walk him through these steps and we'll see what we find. Thanks. [22:55] <bryce> cool, thanks |
