Bug#354221: xserver-xorg: confirming freezes with radeon driver
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Followup-For: Bug #354221
Hi,
I am not sure if I should open a new bugreport on my issue, but this one
seems actually the most appropriate one to add my information as the
problem is similar.
System gets locked up with xorg 7.0.22. I did a fresh install so I don't
know if these problems would have also occured with previous versions.
Locked up means: no Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, no pinging over network, no
mouse, no keyboard.
I mainly found the freezes occuring when using firefox - sometimes even
at the exact same point. From what I heard firefox uses acceleration.
This might be related to #319263. But in gerneal the system freezes now
and then.
So I set "NoAccel" to "true" and since then I didn't experience a single
freeze. Before I had at least 1-2 freezes a day and I didn't experience
any freeze for about 2 weeks now.
Uncommenting DRI or GLX didn't work for me AFAIR - I think I tried all
possible combination of disabling the one and enabling the other or
disabling them alltogether.
Using the ATI driver did not help either.
There's another bugreport which might be related:

If you need any other info, let me know.
Thanks for the good work,
Tom
