| 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. | 19:23 |
| bryce | hey all, just got home | 22:39 |
| bryce | johanbr: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing is probably your next step | 22:40 |
| 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. | 22:41 |
| bryce | johanbr: if you can ssh into the box, then yes | 22:51 |
| 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) | 22:52 |
| johanbr | Alright, I'll walk him through these steps and we'll see what we find. Thanks. | 22:53 |
| bryce | cool, thanks | 22:55 |
