    Hmmm, if atieventsd is the culprit, then I would wager that the driver is in fact locking up on switching powerstates which is performed by atieventsd (which reproducibly locks up my machine, see my post in the main thread). You might want to check this assertion by manually trying to switch powerstates via aticonfig...

    As this happens on every switch for me only when Textured2D is enabled, this also would explain why meddling with the textured options seems to reduce the chance of locking up for some people.

    If this is indeed correct, then disabling atieventsd (and possibly any related acpid scripts) would be a temporary fix, although not a very satisfactory one --- powersaving is no gimmick but vital for laptop users.

    ivanovic is right: atieventsd is the culprit

    First of all, if you have useful input, please consider contributing to the bug report I've filed for this issue at: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=992. Just don't expect to get any feedback .

    Something about atieventsd and authatieventsd.sh was mentioned in the official 8.01-thread in connection with the freeze-on-logout problem. Ivanovic, in this thread, also points at atieventsd, so I decided to do some testing.

    If I have atieventsd running, the X session will often freeze on logout. However, Linux itself doesn't crash, it's just the Xorg process that goes wild (which in many cases results in a feeling of total crash, but hey, this isn't Windows ). It seems that some kind of event is dispatched when the session ends, so that atieventsd spawns the following script:

    /bin/sh -c /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh grant :0 (null)

    I'm not 100% sure those are exactly the args that are passed, but something like it (don't have it in front of me, logged in from a different machine). It seems this is causing some nasty race in combination with xauth+Xorg, which causes Xorg to crash/freeze. The spawned script does not exit, and Xorg consumes 100% CPU. The ~/.Xauthority file is locked.

    I was able to get the box back up on its feet from an SSH-session by:
    - Killing atieventsd and the script it spawned
    - Shut down gdm
    - Killing Xorg with kill -9
    - Removing fglrx kernel module, then reload it.
    - Fire up gdm, and boom, Xorg comes back up with the GDM greeter.

    Now, for the fix that worked for me:
    Nuke atieventsd. Prevent it from starting up, kill it, etc. On Ubuntu, I just removed all startup symlinks from the /etc/rcX.d/ directories. You can also execute "/usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f atieventsd remove" (as root). Then reboot. If you want the startup links restored, just reinstall the fglrx-package ..

    I've done 25 login/logout cycles in a row without atieventsd running, and Xorg has never frozen.

    What's the point with this extra daemon, anyways ? Seems like kind-of a hack. If it's supposed to help with hotplug keys on laptops it has certainly never worked for me (Thinkpad Z61m). Those buttons have never worked. I always use aticonfig+xrandr. Also, I don't think the packaged version of fglrx that comes with Ubuntu Gutsy (8.37.6) enables this daemon. It's gone from my startup sequence, at least, until I hear official news from AMD that this buggy behaviour has been fixed.

    Thanks to Ivanovic for the hint.

    Watch out for authatieventsd.sh & atieventsd!

    In order to help track down the problem, I installed this new driver again. I did all the tricks bridgman suggested in xorg.conf, still no go. I noticed a subtle difference as compared to 8.40.4, i.e. the last OLD codebase driver which I'm still stick to for all these months. It's this authatieventsd.sh script. Using the OLD driver, I never see it in running processes, so I assume it's only run at the X startup, and quits when it finishes its job. But in the NEW driver, this process keeps running

    Code:
    sh -c /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh grant :0 (null)
    So I did some experiments after switching to console

    1. Issue a gdm stop, which takes CONSIDERABLY longer than with the OLD driver. However, X is still running and I can not kill it.
    2. Manually kill the authatieventsd.sh process, and X is automatically released. (Note that authatieventsd.sh will be respawned by atieventsd immediately, which is OK)
    3. Issue a gdm start, which seems normal.

    And whoops, the gdm (and X) was successfully restarted. While I don't know if authatieventsd.sh is supposed to be running all the time in the new driver, I'm almost sure that it has something to do with the freezing problem. Hope this gives clues.

    My xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log should give you every detail of my configuration and hardware.

    xorg.conf:
    Code:
    # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.

    P.S. As ivanovic mentioned, the freezing problem does not occur EVERY time; it's often after some time of use, like 10 minutes or so. I've never been able to figure out what exactly makes the difference. If you're repeating my steps above and not experiencing noticable lag of gdm stop, then you're in the lucky cycle, which means you can then directly issue a gdm start. In other words, the problem didn't occur in your test. However if it does occur and you skip step 2, then you will fail to start X with the message like "an X server has already started on display :0.0".

    Okay, some more work later and now it looks like it works. Here is what I did:

    * Remove the deamon 'atieventsd'.

    That one seems to be broken and causing the problems. That not everyone is having those probs might be related to that it is working correctly for some or that they are not having it active.
    Part of the problem for me might be related to this (though it is just a *very* blind guess):
    Code:
    $ aticonfig --lsp
Error: POWERplay is not supported on your hardware.
    Since my card is a HD3850, it should have POWERplay, maybe some problems are coming from here. At least I do know, that the problems are related to this very app. The textured video stuff and overlay itself *might* be part of it, too, not sure here at all.

    I was now able to use my system for ~4h, did some videocutting/viewing and was able to shutdown Xorg and to restart it without any problem.

    I have got similar issues. I just use kdm not gdm, but the problem is that the dm can't be killed completly. In the error case not even with killall -9.

    Unfortunately this didn't do the trick for me either. I disabled OpenGLOverlay, VideoOverlay and TexturedVideo in my xorg.conf but the problem is still the same - when logging out (or when pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) my system just freezes while still displaying the gnome background. In my case pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work.

    I believe my Mobility X2300 is based on the RV515 chip.

    Do you need any additional information? Like I said, nothing of those steps made a difference regarding the problem when shutting down Xorg. My guess is that the problem is somewhere at unloading the module, so that Xorg does not quit correctly. At least there is no kernel panic, so that I can cleanly reboot via ssh or ctrl+alt+del...

It seems that this workaround is working for some folks but not for others, and it's not clear yet what conditions make the difference.
    Okay, so here I am, I did some testing on it and no matter what I do, it does crash.

    So first my sysspecs, then what I did:
    I am running gentoo unstable x86 with vanilla 2.6.23.11 on a HD3850 512MB. My xorg-x11 server version is x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r2 and I am running latest 8.01 driver.

    The problem: It is not possible to shutdown X11 and use the terminal/restart from the terminal. *But* this does not happen always. I do at least have to use some app that is using OpenGL or running Xorg for some time. I don't know for sure which one it is. At least there is no problem when I directly start and quit Xorg, that is not enough...

    Here is what I did to try to fix the problem:
    1) First I did remove the file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.
    2) Comment out *all* XVideo related options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
    3) Restart the whole system (restarting X was no option, that is the system basically crashed / showed no graphics output anymore on the terminal after quiting X).
    4) After the restart of the system and the start of xorg (the overlay option were *all* commented out in xorg.conf), I did have a look at the automatically created file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb. In there those options were set:
    VideoOverlay=Son
    OpenGLOverlay=Soff
    5) After some hours of normal usage (that is viewing videos and such), I did try to shutdown the system. The same crash of unloading fglrx did occur. I was still able to ssh into the system, *but* unloading fglrx was not possible because rmmod did tell me that it was still being in use. So another ctrl+alt+del reboot.
    6) After the reboot I did just edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to explicitly set these to 'off':
    Option "TexturedVideo" "off"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "off"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Right after the start of Xorg, I did have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and there was still the message that VideoOverlay was not supported on this card and that I should use TexturedVideo instead. I was a little surprised, but thought it could just be a general message, so I did not care. After some hours of normal usage, turning off Xorg did not work again, just a nice and black screen.
    7) One reboot later I did remove the file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb, started xorg and had another look at the log, now the enty regarding texturedvideo was gone, so I though everything should work when shutting down xorg.
    8) When shutting down xorg, the same as before did happen. The problem was not fixed.

    So what info can I provide now?
    1) The content of /etc/ati/amdpcsdb does override whatever is defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. IMO this is a bug...
    2) Nothing of those options did change anything.

    I hope that I can post some more chars, so that I don't have to double post, to post my current config and some log output...
