Archck + ati-fglrx + xorg, machine freezes

I'm using kernel26archck 2.6.15.archck7-3, ati-fglrx-archck 8.22.5-2, and xorg 11R7.0-1.
When I start X and use any window manager, the machine hangs and acts weirdly. I try to maximize a terminal window, the machine freezes. It seems as though if I dhcp first I can ssh into the machine remotely, but if I kill X the machine hangs.
Any clues why this would happen? This does *not* happen with the normal arch kernel with ati fglrx installed.

Any work arounds? I don't mind adding another kernel option or something if I need to if the change helps somebody else.
Either way, thanks

Beyond + ati-fglrx-beyond + xorg, machine freezes

Hi,
kernel26beyond 2.6.16.beyond3-1 + ati-fglrx-beyond 8.24.8-1 + xorg 11R7.0-1
The freeze is weird: I can still see the mouse moving, but clicks and keyboards are not responding. I have already experienced this some time ago with archck and ati-firegl-archck but it had been fixed thanks to a new release.
I don't have this problem with the latest archck/ati-firegl-archck kernel nor with the beyond1 kernel (I switched directly form beyond1 to beyond3).
The computer is a P4 with a ATI FireGL X1 card.

Hi,
well, I just wonder if my thoughts are correct. Is your computer using the HyperThreading extension? I am curious...
There is a flag that you can set when compiling the fglrx driver to tell it that it is meant to be for SMP machines. I have posted this in this thread (look at the PKGBUILD):
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=20118&start=0
I was wondering if that improves your situation.
Of course this matters only if you _do_ use HT/SMP.
Cheers,

Xorg 6.8/7.0 ATI fglrx 8.22.5 Kernel-Independent Packages

-------NOTICE-------
Iphitus has now made available a lovely set of packages for ATI drivers and xorg 7 in the [testing] repo. I have helped him put them together, and they run like a charm for me.
See this thread for more info.
Since these packages are well thought out and seperate the kernel module from the userland files necessary to run ATI-drivers, I feel that they're a better solution than the packages I have created and presented in this thread. As such, I strongly suggest you use the packages available in the official repos now. While I will not immediately remove the files I have hosted for these packages, I will no longer be maintaining them.
-------PURPOSE-------
Well, as brought up recently in the ati-drivers-arch thread, the way we handle ATI's drivers and Nvidia's drivers is a little different... the officially packaged Nvidia drivers actually build the kernel module on the user's machine, during install time, making it an essentually kernel-independent package. The ATI drivers in community, however, build the module at makepkg time, which ties each package to a specific kernel version.
I personally thought the Nvidia way was a good way.
Therefore, I have decided to make packages that are kernel-independant in the same way nvidia's are -- here they are.
Note: Since creating these, I've been informed that this is not an ideal Arch-way to make packages; read on in this thread for details. In case you want a prebuilt fglrx package, which is dependant on a particular kernel and compiles the driver at build-time instead of install-time, for use with Xorg 7, see this Wiki page: ATI fglrx and Xorg 7
-------KERNEL 2.6.15 Notes-------
ATI has fixed the 2.6.15 kernel problems with version 8.22.5.
-------Xorg 6.8 Notes-------
The package for Xorg 6.8 is currently UNTESTED by me. In theory, it should work fine, since I took the same changes I made to the Xorg 7 package and more-or-less applied them to the ati-drivers-arch package available in [community]
-------Xorg 7 Notes-------
I have tested, and am currently using, the Xorg 7 package linked here with kernel26-archck 2.6.15 from [community] with no noticeable problems.
Additionally, for the Xorg 7 package to work, you'll probably have to create a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules -> /usr/lib/xorg/modules.
If /usr/X11R6/lib/modules already exists, copy its contents to /usr/lib/xorg/modules, remove it
rm -r /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
then make the link
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
-------Installing Additional Kernel Modules-------
The packages now install a shell script in /opt/ati to facilitate installation of the kernel module for multiple kernels. The kernel module is automatically built and installed for whichever kernel you are running when you install the package, but if you want to install it for additional kernels, follow these steps:
Boot into the kernel you want to install the module for.
Execute:
$ cd /opt/ati
$ ./fglrx_module_setup.sh install
and the script will do the rest. As a bonus, when you uninstall the ati-drivers package, the script will remember which kernels it installed the module for and remove every module, leaving your system sparkling-clean.
If you update your driver in the future, you should be able to run
$ cd /opt/ati
$ ./fglrx_module_setup.sh reinstall
and, if I've done it right (this is untested) it should reinstall the module for every kernel on which it's been previously installed.
-------UPDATE-------
Packages updated to fglrx 8.22.5! New in this release:
NEW FEATURES: (1) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver now supports Linux Kernel 2.6.15.
ISSUES RESOLVED: (1) Creating 22 or more display configuration mode lines in the X Server configuration file no longer results in a fatal server error.

Opteron errata 131 - machine freezes regularly

Hello,
i got a new Dual-DC-Opteron (270) machine using a Tyan Thunder K8SR (S2881) with 4 GB RAM, a scsi boot disk and 4 SATA disks running as a Raid 10 under Solaris VolumeManager.
The machine freezes sometimes when i start to copy files to it via NFS. It will run for a while then "freeze". Could that be an issue of the Opteron errata 131 ? AMD states that this should only happen very seldom - but i experienced the problem also trying to use SolarisExpress (build28) with ZFS. As soon as i started to copy files to the disk via NFS & Samba it frooze. Therefore i
Before i buy a new board with the Errata 131 fix in the bios i would like to know if that Errata is a showstopper for productive use!
Everytime the system frooze i was active in the X-Desktop - i turned it off for now and make another test on that issue. But unlike the other X-Freeze cases my system became totally unresponsive - even pings/telnets were no longer possible.

Unfortunately I come with bad news. I have the exact same problem on the exact same computer and I have been researching this for a long time. What I found is that there is a unique issue with the graphic card that came with some models of the Macbook Pro on 2006-07 that cause them to overheat, get funny lines on the screen, makes the screen go blank, get choppy sound quality and disturded sounds on video (such as on Youtube). Their solution? Replace the motherboard. Apple issued an official programs to fix MBP with these graphic cards but we only had 2 to 4 years from the time of purchase to get it fix. When I took it to Apple thy confirmed what I'm telling you now but told me I was 3 months passed the 4 years I had. Since I just recently found this out, i guess i missed out. They didn't do much to get the word our to customers about this issue, understandable, since this doesn't help their image. Apple blamed Envidia for supplying faulty graphic card, but Apple was the one that sold us the defected product under a false promise. Yes, they set up that program to fix it, but then they don't do well at getting the word out and then they set a time limit for us to bring in the product. It shouldn't matter when we bring the product in, if it's faulty due to manufacturers lack of testing.
Notice how "com.apple.kext.ATI1600Controller" is on your panic report. Research issues relating that graphics card and you'll find your answers.
Here are some of my findings: Google Search, "problems with my MacBook pro with the x1600"

Sorry i couldn't give you a solution but at least it will save all the headaches of not knowing way your MBP has become so problematic.

Newest ati-fglrx doesn't support Radeon 9000?

I just upgraded to the newest ati-fglrx package (ati-fglrx 8.29.6-1), and started getting a dreaded white-screen when I ran startx. Errors indicated my chipset (0x4c66, I believe) isn't recognized by the driver. I'm sorry, what?
So, after running aticonfig again and trying to wrestle with kernel modules and xorg extensions, I looked at the ATI drivers release notes (http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.29.6.html). Notice anything funny there? Mobility Radeon 9000 isn't listed in the supported products. Huh?
So, what's a guy to do? Am I correct in understanding that pacman won't let me revert and go back to the last ati-fglrx package that actually supported my video card? Do I have options, or am I stuck with software rendering from now on?
For reference, it's a Dell Latitude D600 laptop, with a completely up-to-date set of packages (newest non-beyond kernel, etc.).
Help?

When was the last time you tried them? I've heard they've improved quite alot in the last little while.
cheer wrote:Is it so difficult to make 2 packages every new kernel version?
If I wanted to be snarky, I could respond with "Is it so difficult to make yourself 1 package every new kernel version?" but I'm in a good mood, so I'll just make a joke about it in this paragraph.
Keeping around the old version of the package would be, afaik, against the Arch 'bleeding edge' ethos, as well as slowly becoming a maintenance nightmare as it keeps drifting further and further out of date compared to the kernel (and possibly Xorg as well.)
If ATI decided to maintain a 'legacy' version of their drivers for older chipsets like Nvidia seems to be doing, then I'd pick that up in a heartbeat - but as it stands, we're stuck with what ATI's giving us.

glxgears is not a benchmark. If you're having issues in actually graphically-intensive applications, like games, then say so, but otherwise this output means very little, even though you get higher scores with vesa.

'radeon' DRI needs the 'libgl-dri' package, which conflicts with ati-fglrx-utils. You can't have both installed at the same time - if you didn't remove ati-fglrx-utils and reinstall libgl-dri before trying this, that's likely your problem.

Ati-fglrx problem.

Hello.
I've just started using Arch and i really like it. Very clean and efficient.
I do have a problem however, with the ati-fglrx.
I have a radeon X1600 video card. After i've installed xorg and did hwd to make a xorg.conf everything works fine.
Then i install ati-fglrx with pacman, add fglrx to the modules line in rc.conf. Then i let aticonfig modify the xorg.conf.
When i start xorg, the screen goes black and the system halts. I've tried some example xorg.confs and modified them to my system, but all with the same outcome.
When i remove ati-fglrx with pacman and start xorg, it works again.
Also, using lsmod fglrx is in the list.
My most recent xorg.conf:

If anybody could shed any light on this i would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah it does seem like a driver bug, aticonfig can't make a proper xorg.conf for whatever reason. I had trouble using 'Xorg --configure" as well.
Here's my WORKING xorg.conf, ati-fglrx version 8.33.6-3 (extremely bleeding edge) and kernel 2.6.20-2 (also extremely bleeding edge.. i.e .last night)

You can uncomment the DRI line but DRI doesn't seem to be working with the current fglrx driver (at least not with my ancient 256MB Radeon 9800 Pro

Ati-fglrx 8.29.6 Notice!

Please note that with version 8.29.6 of ATI's binary drivers, support for Radeon 9000, 9100, and 9200 IGP and Mobility chipsets, and Radeon 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, and 9250 has been dropped.
For users of any of these chipsets, you will not be able to use ati-fglrx >= 8.29.6 for your cards anymore. I suggest you look into the OSS drivers that ship with xorg by installing the xf86-video-ati and libgl-dri packages, and using the 'radeon' driver in your Xorg.conf.
Otherwise, you can set pacman to ignore ati-fglrx, however unless you build your own 8.28 fglrx packages, this will cease working after a kernel upgrade > 2.6.18.

What? I'm sure you can get direct rendering on a Radeon 9200! I thought that card has had DRI support for ages!? I always thought that support for Radeon 9250 and less was fine, since they use the R200 GPU, whereas newer Radeons than this use a R300-type GPU, which has only recently got DRI support.
Maybe you have to change some things in the Xorg.conf file in order to make direct rendering work, but I wouldn't give up on the Radeon yet!
Are you talking about the OSS radeon drivers? If so, that's exactly what I suggested users of 9250 and down use.

Problems with ati-fglrx. [solved]

Since i reinstalled Arch yesterday I have been having some problems getting ati-fglrx and ati-fglrx-utils to work properly on my Radeon Mobility 9700. I can only get the Mesa drivers which gives me very low fps.
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.2)
Here is some of the output:
http://www.mypastebin.com/?code=292440769
And /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
http://www.mypastebin.com/?code=1477926438
The strange thing is that before the reinstall it worked just fine... If someone could help me I would be very greatful!

It did!
$ fglrxinfo

Lion + Macbook Pro 17 + Time Machine = Freeze

I recently upgraded to OS X Lion on my mid-2009 MBP 17" and I am also getting complete system lockups - the mouse moves, but no keyboard, no clicks, no window movements, and all menu bar items stop updating, including the system clock. Power cycle is the only solution. This is happening often while a Time Machine update is running on my external drive (after it's been running for several minutes). I believe it has also occured with video playback (as others have reported), but not often. I'm not sure if it is related to waking from hibernate/sleep; e.g., last night's big 60GB Time Machine backup ran ok (took several hours), but this morning, after waking the machine and working for a while, it kicked off again and froze at the 90MB mark (of 270MB) right after I clicked on the menu bar icon to view progress. I had an xterm window and Firefox open, plus a few utilties like Adium. No video playing anywhere.
Any others?
Other notes: 8GB ram; no "Automatic Graphics Switching" option on Preferences pane, probably b/c this is a 2009 MBP(?).

I see nobody is reacting to your problem.
I have (almost) the same problem, but with 10.7.5.
Not only Time Machine freezes up (over WiFi and USB-connected), but also my Music downloads (everything else works fine) to my iPhone 5 (with iTunes 11.1) and also Spotlight (indexing for minutes and then freezes).
All these 3 actions (which usually take longer than anything else) freeze up after 3 to 15 minutes. Never the same, always different durations. Very annoying.
On the other hand: ever since I disabled Spotlight, my MacBook Pro A1286 is as fast as when I bought it in 2009.
This all happened suddenly, out of the blue. No added software, hardware. No changes in prefs.
I had my hardware checked. I have done a memtest. All the tricks in the book. To no avail.
Aopple techs tell me to wait till Maverick......some solution ;-)

Premiere Pro CC2014 - Graphic problem makes my machine freezes

Hi guys,
I use Adobe Premiere Pro since the subscriptions began.
When I did the update to CC 2014, an issue starts and this freaking me out until now.
I don't have a clue for what makes it starts but in a common edit day, after editing about 1 hour... the software starts to show graphic erros (like you can see in the pictures attached). After this, about 20 minutes with the problem my machine freezes.
It only happens with Premiere Pro. I use all other softwares from Adobe without any problems.
What do you think about?

Hi Duca,
Sorry to hear about your issues.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro since the subscriptions began.
When I did the update to CC 2014, an issue starts and this freaking me out until now.
I don't have a clue for what makes it starts but in a common edit day, after editing about 1 hour... the software starts to show graphic erros (like you can see in the pictures attached). After this, about 20 minutes with the problem my machine freezes.
It only happens with Premiere Pro. I use all other softwares from Adobe without any problems.
What do you think about?
We don't know much about your system. Can you fill us in? FAQ: What information should I provide when ask... | Adobe Community
Typically, this is a Mac only issue on OS X 10.9 and OS X 10.10. It can occur on any Mac containing a NVIDIA GPU, but most commonly on MacBook Pro laptops with a NVIDIA GPU installed.
Typically occurs when using Premiere Pro with other GPU intensive applications.
Other GPU intensive applications that are popular with Apple users include Google Chrome, Apple App Store, Apple iTunes, and Spotify.
Some editors use these applications concurrently with Premiere Pro. Likely, many are unaware that these applications can trigger the issue sooner or even cause your OS to crash.
Using a lot of GPU accelerated effects in Premiere Pro can also trigger this issue
If you are using only a normal amount of GPU accelerated effects and working long hours, it can trigger the issue.
If this is the computer you have, and this sounds like your issue, do the following:
Restart the computer
Start Premiere Pro
Choose File > Project Settings
In the General tab under the category Video Rendering and Playback, choose Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL). If Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) is not available, switch the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration Software Only.
Click OK
A dialog box will appear, which reads “Video Rendering and Playback Settings Changes.” Read the text, and then click the Delete Previews button. Note: any previously rendered previews will have to be rendered once more in the new renderer with a render command in the Sequence menu.
Premiere Pro should now operate without the screen problems.
Let us know if this works for you.

Xorg randomly freezes

I recently installed Arch Linux on this computer, which hasn't had Linux installed on it before, but Xorg randomly freezes after a hour or so for me, and won't let me switch out into a console, forcing me to use Magic SysRq. Oddly enough, the mouse still works and the cursor moves. The freezes tend to happen if I open a menu, click something on a window, move a slider, etc.
Using Google, I've found that other people had similar problems, using the specific driver that I use, but these posts were from months ago, and apparently is supposed to be fixed by now.
I use the Intel driver and Fluxbox. I tried the EXA, XXA, and UXA accelmethods, but none of them fixed the freezes.

I would appreciate it if someone helped me resolve this issue, since I like Arch Linux and would like to be able to continue using it.

The xorglog doesn't seem to show anything new occuring when it freezes, syslog only has data on the system booting and shuting down, errorlog has nothing related.
I'll post the entire xorglog anyway, though I previously deleted it before running Xorg again:

I use Xorg version 1.6.3, as shown in the log, Intel driver version 2.7.99.902-1, and kernel version 2.6.30-ARCH.
"Do you know this exactly or just a guessing ?"
A lot of people were talking about how a version of the Intel driver was released to stop the freezing, so I assume Arch Linux would have this version by now.
I have yet to install SSH to remote-login, so I haven't tried killing it, except with Magic SysRq.
The last time Xorg froze, I had just used the command "mmaker -vf Fluxbox" while Fluxbox was running, which made it freeze soon afterwards, so I now think it might be Menu Maker that somehow makes Fluxbox unstable. I was installing a lot of programs for my new installation, and ran it almost every time after I started X to add them to Fluxbox's menu.

[Solved] ati-fglrx, DRI don't works with kernel 2.6.16.14-1

dmesg | grep fglrx (after start X)
[fglrx:firegl_mmap] *ERROR* No map found!
Solution : switch back to kernel 2.6.16.13-1 and wait for a fix.
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.16.13-1.pkg.tar.gz

the updated ati-fglrx package (8.24.8-2) solve the problem

Time Machine "freezes" and I am NOT running anti-virus software

I am incredibly frustrasted and disappointed as a first-time Apple user (brand new iMac (Intel-based) with an external LaCie 500 GB external hard disk). The problem is Time Machine. It backs up on schedule, but when I enter Time Machine, I cannot navigate at all. The background screen (outer space) moves, the cursor moves, but I cannot click on anything. I have to "force quit". So I guess I have things backed up, but can't do anything with them.
I am NOT running antivirus software. I had Intego loaded on the computer, but removed it completely after reading on Apple blogs that this could interfere with Time Machine. I have reformatted the external hard disk. Still, Time Machine freezes. Apple has put out a couple of patches, I understand, but that was months ago and all of my software is up to date.
I have called Apple support TWICE and they act as if I am from the moon -- how dare I question that the Time Machine does not work properly?
Does anyone out there know how to fix this? I am ready to return this computer to the Apple store, which cheerfully sold me on the idea of an external hard disk as a back-up.

Hello Zurichmike (lovely country):
Welcome to Apple discussions.
There are several things you could try. Easy ones first:
Erase and reformat your external HD.
Run repair disk from your software install DVD (on your internal HD).
Go to Macintosh HD>library>preferences. Trash the TM preference file (com.apple.timemachine.plist) and restart. The TM preferences will need to be changed as they are now default values.

Time Machine freezes during back up to Passport Ext drive

Time Machine freezes during first back up to My Passport Ext drive. It is a 1TB, and seems to keep stopping at 6 to 10GB stage so never actually backs up. I have excluded files to limit first backup to about 40GB.

you sure this is a Mac Pro and not a MacBook Pro first. Most every report of issues with bus powered like Passport are best solved using a drive case with its own power instead.

Archck + ati-fglrx + xorg, machine freezes
