1 Hi,
2
3 I have 4 nearly identical machines (same brand and model of motherbaord)
4 with AMD 790GX + SB750 Chipsets containing an (onbaord) Radeon HD 3300
5 graphics chip.
6
7 All of these run identical systems
8 kernel 2.6.31-r4, xorg-server-1.6.5 and ati-drivers-9.10
9
10 On one of these machines freezes after some hours with the
11 following message in /var/log/messages

26
27 and so on.
28
29 Shall I conclude that this motherboard is broken?
30 Or is it bug in ati-drivers (not to recover from this).
31
32 Is there a forum or mailing list to ask such specific questions
33 about the ati-driver?
34
35 Many thanks for a hint,
36 Helmut.
