I have this problem with linux 2.6 (2.4 was ok). I hope this is the right place to report this, it may be related with "drm" mga module..
The problem is: framebuffer (matroxfb) works fine, X (xfree 4.3 or Xorg 6.7) works fine, but sometimes when i hit "ctrl alt F1" for switching on the console, the system freeze. It's not only a xfree freeze: no SysRq reboot and no working network (sshd is not responding). hard freeze. This happen *sometimes* : i switch between X and console many times during the day, the box freeze only 2-3 times a day.
I don't known where to go to find the problem, the only interesting element i have is:
2.4: kernel: [drm] AGP 0.99 Aperture @ 0xe0000000 64MB kernel: [drm] Initialized mga 3.0.2 20010321 on minor 0 2.6: kernel: [drm] Initialized mga 3.1.0 20021029 on minor 0 kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0. kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 1x mode kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:02:00.0 into 1x mode
may the problem be related with the newer version of the module?
any idea?
my stuffs:
video card: Matrox G400 DH on nvidia nforce2 motherboard kernel: vanilla 2.6.3+ (nforce2 agp/matrox drm/matroxfb support) X server: Xfree 4.3.0 or Xorg r6.7 using "mga" driver
