Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  the initial issue is solved by enabling kms that is default now. anything else should be reported in separate reports.

Can you attach the full Xorg.0.log?
Comment by Flat Eric (flateric) - Friday, 26 November 2010, 09:44 GMT
Xorg.0.log attached.

Some informations:
now using kernel 2.6.35.8 (in 2.6.36 kismet cause kernel panic)
KMS is disabled
   Xorg.0.log (61.8 KiB)

I don't see a DRI driver getting loaded anywhere, but you really should try enabling KMS. In the logs you'll see that it follows a fallback path because the DRM interface version doesn't match, that is because KMS is not available.

I think that, with KMS X Server starts. KMS is disabled because when is active, I have problem with suspend to ram and suspend to disk :(. I must test it once more.

@Flateric: Try to create xorg.conf with: Disable "glx" (Solution identi.ca way from nomalab user). The trouble is libglx.so maybe.

@Ravenman: Thanks for nice workaround, it works!

I had the same problem with a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 and the radeon driver.

Prevent Xorg from loading the glx module works for me too.
I created a file "10-modules" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with this content.

Section "Module"
Disable "glx"
EndSection
