I am running Mandrake Linux 8.2 with XFree 4.2.0. My video card is
identified as an ATI Rage 128 RF rev 0. I use the r128 driver.

With 3D acceleration X freezes whenever I click repeatedly on the
scroll bars in any gtk application (gnumeric, AbiWord, etc.). I can't
change to another virtual terminal and CTL-ALT-Backspace doesn't do
anything.

(I had the same problem with the version of XFree that came with
Mandrake 7.2. I upgraded to XFree 4.0.2 and the problem disappeared.)

The problem doesn't arise with the "NoAccel" option. But then I don't
get the 3D acceleration.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks.

Since LM 8.2 I have had the same problem with ATI Rage 128. Very boring!
One week ago I downgraded to X 4.1.0, since then I have no more lockups.
Downloaded it from XFree site.
Drawback: the graphical login doesn't work (yet): it starts some default
windows manager, indepedant of the session selected.
Now I startup with a non graphical login and start the X session with Xtart.
Any hints to solve this problem are welcome.

Success
