This is what I've done so far to try to sort this bug out:

 . tried different monitors
 . tested the memory
 . upgraded the BIOS
 . tried the card in a different machine
 . tried a self-compiled version of (Debianized) kernel 3.4
 . tried libdrm packages built myself from:

   git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/lib/libdrm --branch debian-experimental    
   (September 25th)

No luck. I get X freezes in every condition except when the firmware package is
uninstalled and no acceleration is attempted. 

Presumably the most relevant sign of trouble is that the fact that GPU lockups
are reported:

  Oct  5 14:00:17 ohlone kernel: [   34.436052] GPU lockup (waiting for 
0x00000004 last fence id 0x00000001)
  Oct  5 14:00:17 ohlone kernel: [   34.437223] radeon 0000:01:00.0: GPU 
softreset
  Oct  5 14:00:17 ohlone kernel: [   34.436052] GPU lockup (waiting for 
0x00000004 last fence id 0x00000001)
  Oct  5 14:00:17 ohlone kernel: [   34.437223] radeon 0000:01:00.0: GPU 
softreset
   
at intervals of 12 to 20 seconds.

At this point I think I have to just give up,

Jim
