Gateway MX6421, radeon xpress 200m, crashes....

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



G'day,

My Fedora 10, Gateway MX6421 laptop with Radeon Xpress 200M video is
no longer usable under Linux.  The wife is less than happy and is
using XP until I can get Linux stable on this machine.  Until last
month, this laptop ran for several years with Fedora 6 and was very
stable (up nearly 100% on the coffee table as the family Internet
access box).

The machine has the latest Fedora updates as of last night.  The
kernel mode line does not include a vga= item and I added nomodeset to
it (this helps but does not fix the machine).

When using Firefox, after a few minutes the machine becomes
unresponsive.  The mouse still moves but I can't click on anything.  I
can't kill the X server (ctrl-alt-backspace) nor access other
multiscreens (ctrl-alt-F1, F2, etc.).  Even the caps lock fails to
light so the keyboard driver may be toast.  I have yet to try to ssh
to the box but basically it is toast, requiring a hard reboot.

I have added my comments onto Bugzilla (bug 467821).

I'm stuck -- any help would be appreciated.
