           Summary: r300 DRI Driver locks kdm
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.3
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: drankinatty at suddenlinkmail.com

System: Toshiba P35-S629
Processor: P4 3.33GHz
Ram: 1 Gig
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700 Series
OS: openSuSE 10.3/xorg 7.3/all updates
kernel: 2.6.22.12-0.1-default

    Using the Radeon driver with 3D enabled locks the graphics system and
hardlocks the system. This prevent the system from being able to boot to
runlevel 5. The only way to start the graphics system with 3D enabled is to
boot to runlevel 3 and then go directly into kde with startx. Leaving the
graphics system, you cannot go back in without a hardlock and hard reset. This
has been exhaustively investigated with Novell and the problem was identified
with the r300 driver. There is an incredibly detailed step by step
investigation, with logs and screen shots already prepared for you at:
