Dmesg
A trinity system freezes if X is in the forefront
Caught this when I was in a VT - I'll attach the dmesg
RADEON_VA=0 is coded in /etc/environment as a solution to frequent freeze ups
(I'm not sure if this is still required or not) bug 65958
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7500G] [1002:990a]
Let me know if there's anything else you need

Does it also happen with DPM disabled? Is there any trigger for the freezes?
I think the atombios messages are just a symptom of the GPU being hung rather
than directly related to the root of the bug.

If it's not DPM related, is this a regression? Did you also update mesa? It
could also be a mesa bug that triggers a GPU hang. If it is a regression and
you can narrow down the component, can you bisect?

I don't know what triggers it - it's my dad's laptop and it's fairly new - the
freezing started happening again when I activated DPM as they cleared up after
the RADEON_VA=0 fix
The system is currently running the latest mesa
This is been happening for the last 2 weeks (since I activated DPM) and it's
still happening (possibly less frequently) since all the stack was updated
again
In the above dmesg I was in a VT with just a gnome desktop running in the
background - could it be when the screen powers off from lack of input and
switching it back on that causes the issue - is there a way to trigger that
behaviour manually to test it?
I'd rather not have to switch DPM permanently
Also will I need to run with RADEON_VA=0 permanently too or is there a fix
planned for that?

--- Comment #9 from Erik <ekoleszar@gmail.com> ---
I had the same issue while connecting a second monitor, with the following
card:
VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity
[Radeon HD 7660G] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
The problem arised when I updated to kernel 4.0.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
(updated some other packets also, like mesa 10.5.4-1).
It worked after the RADEON_VA=0 fix described at the beggining, but in dmesg
still appears attachment 115642:
[ 57.343370] [drm:atom_op_jump [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for

Hi guys, seems that the problem arises again. Now I've updated the kernel
4.4.23-1-lts #1, mesa 12.0.3-2.
Same error appears, while I try to extend my desktop to both monitors.
[ 193.473517] [drm:atom_op_jump [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for
more than 5secs aborting
[ 193.473551] [drm:atom_execute_table_locked [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck
executing 3336 (len 2642, WS 0, PS 8) @ 0x393E
Still with RADEON_VA=0 option (also tried without it).

Hi Erik
You're probably best creating your own new bug and supply all the info required
for the dev's to investigate. I no longer have access to this hardware anymore
and your issues might be from a different bug
