I seem to get a hard lockup if I'm watching tv in a window while browsing the web with seamonkey in the background. The screen freezes, the mouse can't move, sysrq doesn't respond, I have to hit the reset button. Phoronix forums seem particularly good and triggering the lockup, this is the third time I've typed out this post.
For tv, I have a usb HVR 900, using the em28xx driver from the latest hg v4l-dvb sources. This driver should be stable since it'll be included in a future kernel version.
The graphics card is a Radeon 9550SE in an APG 4X SiS 650 based motherboard.
I'm using the latest git xf86-video-ati, I've tried various options, none of which have helped:
NoAccel true and NoDRI true (you still get XVideo)
AGPMode 2
DMAForXv false
AccelMethod EXA (with or without render accel) or XAA.
Or even using fglrx, which seems incredibly easy to lockup doing pretty much anything.
Here's my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.ca/971270
I don't think I managed to get a lockup using x11 video output instead of xvideo, but that is pretty poor quality since xvideo seems to have a built-in deinterlacer.
So, does anyone else have usb tv tuners working well with the radeon driver? Can anyone else reproduce this bug? Is there anything else I could try?
