Seems I have something similar, or maybe not. Version 4.1.0-16, it's a
notebook with ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY, but I am using the
vesa driver, since I could not get ati nor radeon to work, and it crashed
after I used xlock with atlantis, my favourite screensaver. But then mplayer
makes X crash too...
Or maybe its my kernel, I still have sound problems, maybe acpi and whatnot,
got the notebook only yesterday.
