Bug#440376: xserver-xorg-video-ati: acceleration method "exa" freezes the computer

[Jiří Paleček <jpalecek@web.de>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.7.192-1~7.2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I set

Option "AccelMethod" "exa"

and when I run xserver with this option, it very soon freezes the computer,
even if I'm in the console. It begins by not accepting keyboard input,  
strangely
the console I'm in accepts input longer.

Regards
    Jiri Palecek
