fglrx 64bit hard lock

chrissmart · Mar 17, 2008, 03:05 AM

Greetings,
As a last resort, I'm wondering if anyone here has come across the following issue?

On every Linux distribution I've tried (Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, Fedora, custom kernels 2.6.22-> 2.6.24), I get a hard lock when trying to start X with the fglrx driver (version 8.2 and 8.3).

The system is completely frozen and I have to power off.

32Bit Linux works without issue, so it's just when on a 64bit system.

Here is my lspci:

Code:

Found this bug which appears to be my problem:
Bug 567 - Screen locks with DRI on X1300

As advised, adding the following to the device section of my xorg.conf stops the hardlock problem - but this obviously disables 3D:

Code:

Option "NoDRI" "Yes"

So still no solution, but I'll add my details there.
