Ubuntu keeps locking up. - godskalk - 2005-05-30
My Ubuntu distro keeps locking up, atleast everytime the screensaver goes on.
I bet this is a video card issue (ati 9800 pro), since in Windows i gotta use 4x agp instead of 8x agp or the computer locks up everytime i play a game or just random.
I've installed the fglrx drivers and they work fine, i have 3d acceleration and all. Tried to set the AgpMode option to "4", but it still freezes.
Anyone have a tip on what i can do?
I checked if i can set the max\min agp usage in BIOS but i can't. :(

also try this
set the screensaver to just a 'blank screen' and see does it still lock up
if not, then set it to an opengl screensaver and see what happens

i know exactly what this is.... happened to me too :)there is a known problem with the 2.6 kernel (i believe next release will fix this).
add "noinotify" to the kernel command line.
that will fix it ;)
if you look it will sometimes happen with utilities that use gam_server.. which blows up :)
