[opensuse] Problem with Radeon?
On a fresh install of OS 13.1 on a new system (specs below) I am experiencing occasional lockups or loss of video and focus. When I lose video (no signal to monitor) it will sometimes display the previous screen after a short period (≈ 30-60 sec) but system will not allow ANY input beyond that point (no response to keyboard or mouse). The lockups (w/o loss of video) exhibit the same symptoms. I have a similar system on another computer with the only different components being the video card (other is Nvidea) and hard drive (other is Samsung SSD). It does not have these problems. A compressed (tar.bz2) copy of the pertinent log files attached. System: M/B: Asus M5A99 EVO R2 Video: Saphire Radeon R7260X OC RAM: 8 GB DDR3 CPU: AMD FX-6300 Has anyone else had a problem with this video card or have a suggestion what else could cause this problem?

Before I wade through your tar ball, are you using the open-source RadeonSI Gallium3D driver or the Catalyst driver? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The open-source Radeon driver.

Many years ago I had problems with occasional video freezes with the Catalyst (propriety driver), but the community driver seems to be rock solid. I use a slightly later driver available from this repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_13.1/] which has a lot of fixes and improvements over what is being shipped with 13.1. (I've had bad reports of using that repository with Nvidia but it seems to work great with all the ATI cards that can use the community driver. YMMV. Also: looking more closely at the Radeon wiki page: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ I notice that your particular card is mentioned nowhere, and I'm not at all sure the community drivers. That is a pretty late model card, and it would be unusual for that card to be supported by community drivers this early. The only review of that card that I found was using the Catalyst drivers. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Looking at your xorg.0 and warn, I would upgrade to the drivers in that repository, and see if this problem is resolved. I run that repository, and its several updates ahead of what your shows. You've got nothing to lose, since you are already running an earlier version of this. Worst case is you would have to switch to the Catalyst drivers. Just Add that repository then do an update of ONLY the the Xorg stuff that shows it is newer, (just select that repository for the first update) and remember to set the option to allow vendor change. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
