Details

Description Graham Murray 2009-01-13 14:03:48 UTC
Latest working kernel version:2.6.28
Earliest failing kernel version:2.6.29-rc1
Distribution:Gentoo
Hardware Environment:Core2 duo 6700, Radeon X300
Software Environment: Xorg-x11 7.4, xf86-video-ati 6.10, kde-4.1.3, libx11 1.1.5
Problem Description: On switching from KDE-4 with desktop effects enabled to 'text' console and back leave X hung with top, approximately 1/3, of screen corrupted, keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. SAK K returns to kdm login screen. If desktop effects are not enabled, all works OK. 

I have bisected the problem and the commit which introduces it is 7c1c2871a6a3a114853ec6836e9035ac1c0c7f7a drm: move to kref per-master structures.

Steps to reproduce:Configure kernel for radeonfb, 
Start KDE with desktop effects enabled
Switch to 'text' console and back to X
Top, approximately 1/3, of screen is corrupted, keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. SAK K returns to kdm login screen.
