Bug#616301: xserver-xorg-video-radeon:screen goes black, system hangs after 2sec:[youtube(FF/Opera)-reset req.]



(Trying to gather everyone in To/Cc.)

Hi,

while you're at it, could you try switching off KMS? That should get
you a working system in the interim.

If you have some more time, you might want to check what happens with
2.6.38rc* from experimental.

Thanks. To reply Faidon's question on IRC, I guess we might want to
either reassign that bug to the kernel (affecting the driver + the
server, to make sure it gets noticed) and/or to clone it for now,
until further investigation happens. Michel, any preference?
