My system locks up every time I try to switch from X to console using Ctrl+Alt+x or when I log out of X. I run the system on init 3 and use startx to get X running. Nothing but a power reset brings the system out of it. And I'm also unable to ssh into the system from a remote box once it locks up. The problem's reproducible with both ATI's proprietary fglrx drivers (4.3.0-3.14.1) and the GPL'd ATI drivers included in X.org 6.7.0.
There are no incriminating errors in the logs on rebooting.
The problem existed in all versions of 2.6 upto 2.6.7...... seemed to be fixed in 2.6.8 and 2.6.8.1, both of which worked well. The problem seems to have resurfaced in 2.6.9.
I'm using Fedora Core 2 with all updates applied and a plain 2.6.9 kernel from www.kernel.org. The hardware's an Asus AV333 (VIA KT-333 chipset) motherboard, Athlon XP 1800+, ATI Radeon 9800Pro AGP with 128MB ram.
Looks like an AGP problem to me (wild guess), but I don't seem to have the brains (or talent, for that matter) to figure it out any further.
