Description pierrearinsal 2009-08-04 05:11:37 UTC
hi 

I use gentoo whith a 2.6.30 kernel.
I have a ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] 

setting up Option "BusType" "PCIE" in xorg.conf freeze the computer.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log gives :

...

last lines are :

and then, ... some wierd characters, and then there is some logs from /var/log/messages inserts here!

Thanks, I'll reassign this to DRI, althought it might even be an acpi/x86 problem, dunno.
Comment 2 Alex Deucher 2009-08-05 19:43:26 UTC
IGP chips like the RS690 have special gart controllers.  The BusType option is not relevant to these chips and shouldn't be used on them.
