I will start this conversation in a new thread, but this is a continuation of my efforts to get a new media center up an running. I have had a bit of a conversation about this already in the thread I started called "ATI fglrx driver problems"... My issue is that I am experiencing what appears on the surface to be a display problem, either X11 or ATI driver and my system will freeze up on me, usually within a few minutes after startup, and my only recourse is to do a reboot. There is some evidence and a couple of suggestions that this issue is cause by the current fglrx driver from ATI but further research on my part is leading me to question that assumption a bit... I have allowed my system to now go through a number of these lock ups and accumulate messages in the WARN file that is found in /var/logs. I am observing what appears to be a lot of semaphore problems within the fglrx driver but another pattern is also emerging. Just before most of these freezes I am seeing a daemon called audispd report "EOF read". From what I have found out the daemon is handling some sort of system events, I guess recording them and/or passing them on to other interested processes. (I am NOT a Linux guru so please bear with me....) I don't know if this message on reading an end of file ??? is a good thing or a bad thing so thought I would ask.... I will post examples of the more common sets of messages I am seeing when my system locks up and hopefully someone will be able to understand and enlighten me on what is going on...
