Package: xserver-xorg-video-geode
Version: 2.11.1-1~bpo50+1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hello,

I use LTSP 5 on Debian Lenny. clients are good old PC working perfectly and 4 
Thincan DBE62. The Thincan DBE62 randomly freeze several time a day.
The freeze happened randomly, using Iceweasel (mozilla seamonkey), kmail, 
openoffice, konqueror, Adobe's flash, ... even with screensaver.

The Thincan DBE-62 has a Geode LX700 microprocessor and 256 MB of ram. Exact 
model is DBE62D-700 - see http://wiki.thincan.org/DBE62  
We don't use flat-screen (I changed that in the Thincan's bios but it has no 
effect). 

I have tried various solutions suggested on the web (including from Martin-Eric 
Racine blog and Launchpad.net bug reports), even if it has little simlilarity 
with my 
problem, but nothing works. 

The chroot is up to date (last lenny packages), geode driver is the last one 
fom backports.org (xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.11.1-1~bpo50+1), but previous 
packages were 
freezing the system also. The geode-dbg package is also installed.

Here's the last LTSP lts.conf

        SOUND = True
        LOCALDEV = True
#       CONFIGURE_X = False

        CONSOLE_KEYMAP = fr
#       SCREEN_07 = ldm
        LDM_DIRECTX = True
        X_RAMPERC = 80

        XKBLAYOUT = fr
        CONSOLE_KEYMAP = fr
        XSERVER = geode
X_OPTION_01 = "\"AccelMethod\" \"XAA\""

[xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx]     # Thincan DBE 62
        LIKE = Thincan_DBE_62


Extract of the boot log (don't know if it is useful):
