    Catalyst 9.8 + Kernel 2.6.29 = Freeze

    Running up to date Fedora 11 here just wondering how many people are having this issue? Does it happen with 2.6.30? Does it hang up With other distros whose kernels are 2.6.29.x or 2.6.30.x or is this just Fedora specific issue?

    Catalyst driver installs fine and then after rebooting it loads everything like it's supposed to, but then basically when moving a cursor under KDE 4.3 computer just freezes (must be rebooted) under 5 seconds. With or without desktop effects.

    P.S.
    Maybe Catalyst devs should just target Fedora releases of the desktop "GNU/Linuxes", since when it works under Fedora it should work everywhere ;D

    In Fedora 11, Xorg segfaults with Catalyst.

      Fedora 11 with self-compiled 2.6.30.4 kernel gives same result
      Black screen + freeze on startup. The first time i installed it ( using init 3 and init 5 to restart X server) it worked for 10 seconds before it froze my computer.
      Here is the output

        There's 2.6.30 in updates-testing for F11 if you want to give that a go. Haven't heard of any people being successful yet with Fedora though, so I'm the response (and hopefully package) of rpmfusion guys.

        Not targeting Fedora seems silly. The majority of stuff comes out there first here and the users are happier with a bit more breakage. Sounds like ideal beta testing place ;D

          See my post from another thread:
          AMD Catalyst 9.8 Delivers New Kernel Support - Phoronix Forums
          http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=87765&postcount=39
          Technical support and discussion of the open-source AMD Radeon graphics drivers.

          The money quote:

          Code:
          Installation complete!

*** glibc detected *** ./setup.data/bin/x86_64/setup: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00000000018314b0 ***
          When installing from console. Installing from X leaves you blissfully unaware of this error message. Can anyone else confirm?

          I'm running F11 AMD64.

            With SWCursor, Xorg doesn't freeze, however it shows corruption around the cursor if AIGLX composition is enabled. Add this to the "Device" section in Xorg.

            Code:
            	Option	    "SWCursor"	"true"

              I have tried this solution on both 32 and 64 bit versions of fedora 11. With standard kernel and 2.6.30.4 (self compiled).. and all results in black screen freeze... Error trace is exactly same as before, so basically this workaround does no good at all

                    Have you blacklisted radeon module from /etc/modprobe.d/blaclist.conf? Black screen here also if I haven't.

                    Add "blacklist radeon" there like the others that are already there.
