Debian ia64 on hp zx6000 xorg hang on start randomly

Hi everyone
I have HP ZX6000 Workstation. I have installed Debian on it and i have
problem with staring X windows sytem.
When i do 'startx' i get blank screen for couple seconds than my monitor
gets off and few seconds later i see that i get error on disgnostic leds on
the workstation box - thats meen reboot is the only solution system hangs.
It apears randomly - one time i start my xwindows normaly, one time i don`t.
I tried gnome and xfce - didn`t made difference.
I also tried debian 5 and debian 6 versions. Both behave the same way.

I think that`s xorg.config related or graphic driver card related. Anyone
debuged it? Anyone with the same problem?

I`ve got ATI FIRE GL X1 256MB graphic.

I will be happy to hear about all hints.

Greetings
Chesti

Option "ForcePCIMode" "yes" or Option "BusType" "PCI" solve this problem
hint. to get faster X login and better performance update too the latest
video bios for firegl x1 or z1.
there is a efi based update utility on hp's side

Mmmh, strange.

I'm also running a hp workstation zx6000 with AGP FireGL X1 256p
graphics adapter.

X "normally" locks up when you're running OpenGL. In this case,
forcing AGP to PCI mode might help.

But if your system freezes with simple desktop rendering, there's
something else. Did you install r300 firmware? It's in
firmware-linux-nonfree package and is required for KMS to work
correctly on my system.

Is X frozen or does it simply fail to start? Any reported error in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log? With current Debian Testing, you don't need
xorg.conf at all, autoprobing works for me and, as such, prevents from
incorrect settings in xorg.conf.
