This must be it. Probably some problem with DRI.

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

What gets built from ports depends on whether you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU set.

As I said earlier, I am using the radeon driver, and Radeon X1550 card.
How does WITHOUT_NOUVEAU affect that?

If WITHOUT_NOUVEAU is _not_ set, then you are building
an older version of mesa.

See graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk (which affects
other ports like graphics/libdrm, graphics/dri, etc.).

As is often the case, see ports/UPDATING.

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

As I said earlier, I am using the radeon driver, and Radeon X1550 card.
How does WITHOUT_NOUVEAU affect that?

If WITHOUT_NOUVEAU is _not_ set, then you are building
an older version of mesa.

See graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk (which affects
other ports like graphics/libdrm, graphics/dri, etc.).

As is often the case, see ports/UPDATING.

Setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=yes in /etc/make.conf gives you a later version
of the radeon driver.

I can't recall if you've shown your xorg.conf.

Have you seen any of my rants on AllowEmptyInput and the, err...
avoidance thereof?

After some searching yesterday, it looked like something to try would be
disabling DRI in the Device section with Option "DRI" "Off".

But my Radeon X1650 works fine with DRI enabled, and I wouldn't think
the X1550 would be all that different. No KDE here, though.

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

How long ago was that note? I probably did see that note in UPDATING, but
skimmed over it in the assumption that it only applied to NVidia users.
Until now I had thought it meant to build the older free NVidia driver
instead of the new nouveau.

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I'll have to wait until tonight to check, but it will be whatever was in
ports yesterday.

What gets built from ports depends on whether you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU set.

As I said earlier, I am using the radeon driver, and Radeon X1550 card.
How does WITHOUT_NOUVEAU affect that?

If WITHOUT_NOUVEAU is _not_ set, then you are building
an older version of mesa.

See graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk (which affects
other ports like graphics/libdrm, graphics/dri, etc.).

As is often the case, see ports/UPDATING.

Setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=yes in /etc/make.conf gives you a later version
of the radeon driver.

I can't recall if you've shown your xorg.conf.

Have you seen any of my rants on AllowEmptyInput and the, err...
avoidance thereof?

After some searching yesterday, it looked like something to try would be
disabling DRI in the Device section with Option "DRI" "Off".

But my Radeon X1650 works fine with DRI enabled, and I wouldn't think
the X1550 would be all that different. No KDE here, though.

It may have an effect because you are "without nouveau"? Possible? :-)
Half joking here, please report the versions when you have a chance.

How long ago was that note? I probably did see that note in UPDATING, but
skimmed over it in the assumption that it only applied to NVidia users.
Until now I had thought it meant to build the older free NVidia driver
instead of the new nouveau.

I am also putting in WITHOUT_NOUVEAU, and checking all settings in xorg.conf.

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:
ls -d /var/db/pkg/xf86-video-*

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

So, I am confused - you still get the hangs with the new versions of the ports

EXAVSync shouldn't affect compositing, or at least it doesn't seem to
for me. And I think KDE desktop effects are based on compositing. But
I don't run KDE...

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:
ls -d /var/db/pkg/xf86-video-*

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

> Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I don't know.

I'll have to wait until tonight to check, but it will be whatever was in
ports yesterday.

What gets built from ports depends on whether you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU set.

As I said earlier, I am using the radeon driver, and Radeon X1550 card.
How does WITHOUT_NOUVEAU affect that?

If WITHOUT_NOUVEAU is _not_ set, then you are building
an older version of mesa.

See graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk (which affects
other ports like graphics/libdrm, graphics/dri, etc.).

As is often the case, see ports/UPDATING.

Setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=yes in /etc/make.conf gives you a later version
of the radeon driver.

I can't recall if you've shown your xorg.conf.

Have you seen any of my rants on AllowEmptyInput and the, err...
avoidance thereof?

After some searching yesterday, it looked like something to try would be
disabling DRI in the Device section with Option "DRI" "Off".

But my Radeon X1650 works fine with DRI enabled, and I wouldn't think
the X1550 would be all that different. No KDE here, though.

It may have an effect because you are "without nouveau"? Possible? :-)

How long ago was that note? I probably did see that note in UPDATING, but
skimmed over it in the assumption that it only applied to NVidia users.
Until now I had thought it meant to build the older free NVidia driver
instead of the new nouveau.

I am also putting in WITHOUT_NOUVEAU, and checking all settings in xorg.conf.

So, I am confused - you still get the hangs with the new versions of the ports
unless you disable that option?

EXAVSync shouldn't affect compositing, or at least it doesn't seem to
for me. And I think KDE desktop effects are based on compositing. But
I don't run KDE...

I did several tests to make sure it was gone. I tested with the older dri
ports with and without exavsync, and with the newer dri ports without
exavysync. But I did not, however, test with the newer ports *with* exavsync.

Currently I have the newer dri ports and no EXAVSync option, and I am not
experiencing any problems.

I'll have to wait until tonight to check, but it will be whatever was in

What gets built from ports depends on whether you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU set.

As I said earlier, I am using the radeon driver, and Radeon X1550 card.
How does WITHOUT_NOUVEAU affect that?

If WITHOUT_NOUVEAU is _not_ set, then you are building
an older version of mesa.

See graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk (which affects
other ports like graphics/libdrm, graphics/dri, etc.).

As is often the case, see ports/UPDATING.

Setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=yes in /etc/make.conf gives you a later version
of the radeon driver.

I can't recall if you've shown your xorg.conf.

Have you seen any of my rants on AllowEmptyInput and the, err...
avoidance thereof?

After some searching yesterday, it looked like something to try would be
disabling DRI in the Device section with Option "DRI" "Off".

But my Radeon X1650 works fine with DRI enabled, and I wouldn't think
the X1550 would be all that different. No KDE here, though.

It may have an effect because you are "without nouveau"? Possible? :-)

How long ago was that note? I probably did see that note in UPDATING, but
skimmed over it in the assumption that it only applied to NVidia users.
Until now I had thought it meant to build the older free NVidia driver
instead of the new nouveau.

I am also putting in WITHOUT_NOUVEAU, and checking all settings in xorg.conf.

So, I am confused - you still get the hangs with the new versions of the ports
unless you disable that option?

EXAVSync shouldn't affect compositing, or at least it doesn't seem to
for me. And I think KDE desktop effects are based on compositing. But
I don't run KDE...

I did several tests to make sure it was gone. I tested with the older dri
ports with and without exavsync, and with the newer dri ports without
exavysync. But I did not, however, test with the newer ports *with* exavsync.

Currently I have the newer dri ports and no EXAVSync option, and I am not
experiencing any problems.

You're probably right, it just happened to be something I tweaked about a year

KDE still refuses to recognize compositing capability in the settings dialog,
however, turning it on in the kwinrc file shows that it works just fine.

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:
ls -d /var/db/pkg/xf86-video-*

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

> Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I don't know.

You have to have AIGLX and Composite enabled in your xorg.conf.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:
ls -d /var/db/pkg/xf86-video-*

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

> Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I don't know.

I'll have to wait until tonight to check, but it will be whatever was in
ports yesterday.

What gets built from ports depends on whether you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU set.

As I said earlier, I am using the radeon driver, and Radeon X1550 card.
How does WITHOUT_NOUVEAU affect that?

If WITHOUT_NOUVEAU is _not_ set, then you are building
an older version of mesa.

See graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk (which affects
other ports like graphics/libdrm, graphics/dri, etc.).

As is often the case, see ports/UPDATING.

Setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=yes in /etc/make.conf gives you a later version
of the radeon driver.

I can't recall if you've shown your xorg.conf.

Have you seen any of my rants on AllowEmptyInput and the, err...
avoidance thereof?

After some searching yesterday, it looked like something to try would be
disabling DRI in the Device section with Option "DRI" "Off".

But my Radeon X1650 works fine with DRI enabled, and I wouldn't think
the X1550 would be all that different. No KDE here, though.

It may have an effect because you are "without nouveau"? Possible? :-)

How long ago was that note? I probably did see that note in UPDATING, but
skimmed over it in the assumption that it only applied to NVidia users.
Until now I had thought it meant to build the older free NVidia driver
instead of the new nouveau.

I am also putting in WITHOUT_NOUVEAU, and checking all settings in xorg.conf.

So, I am confused - you still get the hangs with the new versions of the ports
unless you disable that option?

EXAVSync shouldn't affect compositing, or at least it doesn't seem to
for me. And I think KDE desktop effects are based on compositing. But
I don't run KDE...

I did several tests to make sure it was gone. I tested with the older dri
ports with and without exavsync, and with the newer dri ports without
exavysync. But I did not, however, test with the newer ports *with* exavsync.

Currently I have the newer dri ports and no EXAVSync option, and I am not
experiencing any problems.

You're probably right, it just happened to be something I tweaked about a year
and a half ago. I don't recall it being necessary.

KDE still refuses to recognize compositing capability in the settings dialog,
however, turning it on in the kwinrc file shows that it works just fine.

You have to have AIGLX and Composite enabled in your xorg.conf.

I am very sure I have those enabled. I will double check when I get back
to my FBSD box tonight.

The hardware is a Radeon X1550. Not sure about the driver version. It's
whatever -STABLE from a couple months ago provided. How do I get the
version? Should I go back to -RELEASE? Or update to a more recent -STABLE?

I briefly tried starting X without any xorg.conf, and that seems to show
some promise. I'll need to investigate a bit more to see if the problem
really went away, and if so, what setting it didn't like. I'll look again
tomorrow night when I have more time.

I meant xorg driver, not kernel:
ls -d /var/db/pkg/xf86-video-*

Also, what version of Mesa do you have?
ls -d /var/db/pkg/dri*

What gets built from ports depends on whether you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU set.

So, I am confused - you still get the hangs with the new versions of the ports
unless you disable that option?

EXAVSync shouldn't affect compositing, or at least it doesn't seem to
for me. And I think KDE desktop effects are based on compositing. But
I don't run KDE...

I did several tests to make sure it was gone. I tested with the older dri
ports with and without exavsync, and with the newer dri ports without
exavysync. But I did not, however, test with the newer ports *with* exavsync.

Currently I have the newer dri ports and no EXAVSync option, and I am not
experiencing any problems.

You're probably right, it just happened to be something I tweaked about a year

KDE still refuses to recognize compositing capability in the settings dialog,
however, turning it on in the kwinrc file shows that it works just fine.

You have to have AIGLX and Composite enabled in your xorg.conf.

I am very sure I have those enabled. I will double check when I get back
to my FBSD box tonight.

I have AIGLX in ServerFlags section, not sure if having it in ServerLayout
should also work:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "Off"
Option "AllowDeactivateGrabs" "True"
Option "AllowClosedownGrabs" "True"
Option "AIGLX" "On"
EndSection

xorg.conf manual page (yes, there is one) says that it should be ServerFlags.

I also have explicit
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
in Device section.
Not sure if that is a default now or has to be enabled.
