It certainly would be of great help in identifying the root of the problem. I've tried to reproduce this in my laptop (an up-to-date sid i386 system) and was not able to make the X server hang or crash. My video driver is intel, though. So there's a good chance for this being a bug in the radeon video driver. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
