Bug tracking system? Debian's or Xorg's? Out fo curiosity, I tried an Ubuntu live disc (10.04) with the Radeon 3450 installed. The machien locks up as well. Also, I dug out an old Saphire 256MB X1300 card that I had in a junk box. All is well: 2d, 3d, s2ram. No lockups using 3d xscreensaver, like I had with the Dell X1300. Ubuntu live works great. So, maybe the Dell cards really do funny things. > With open drivers and KMS, Xorg should work "out-of-the-box" without the > needing of creating or tweaking the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file so if you > are experiencing such errors (hard locks) it is worth to open a bug > report.

I figured, these days, getting to a 2d desktop with a 2 year old video card would not cause a machine to lock hard. Although,I am on unstable. You pays your money and you takes your chances...
