Summary: [RV515] Kernel .35 onwards, Random X freezes while scrolling Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: .35 .36 .37 .38 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org ReportedBy: drkvi-a@yahoo.com Regression: Yes
Created an attachment (id=55352) --> (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=55352) gdb of X using Kernel 2.6.38-02063802
From kernel .35 onwards the system freezes at random.
This is mostly while scrolling scrolling pages while they load in Firefox(most common) or while scrolling in Nautilus/Gedit windows while they load.
Once it freezes I'm not able to do anything, only the mouse pointer alone moves but nothing else responds. It seems to happen when there is increased disk read/write.(but I'm not very sure of this) I'm using btrfs for my /home partition.
This regression starts in Kernel 2.6.35-1-generic #1-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jun 5 06:18:25 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
While, I dont have any problems with Kernel 2.6.34-5-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 4 06:18:40 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux or MainlineKernel 2.6.34-02063407-generic #201009140905 SMP Tue Sep 14 10:10:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux, both work fine.
Problem is also present in Mainline Kernel 2.6.36-020636 , Ubuntu Kernel 2.6.37-12.26 , Mainline Kernel 2.6.37-020637rc8 , Ubuntu Kernel 2.6.38-1 and Mainline Kernel 2.6.38-02063802
I'm not able to test with kernel .39 because I'm having network issues with that.
