Bug#413721: xserver-xorg-video-ati: The current version of the ati driver in experimental crashes frequently.
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: important
After the last apt-get -t experimental upgrade, the ati driver got updated to 1:6.6.3-5. This started crashing the server on certain actions. Two
that I was able to consistently reproduce were the server hanging after some inactivity (When screen saver would go on to blank the screen), or
trying to play the lbreakout2 game.
I downgraded to 1:6.6.3-2 and now everything works fine.
