Michel:

Thanks for your help. :)

I started with the bugtracker mentioned (strangely searching for "bugtracker
xorg" with google did not give any links to this). There are quite a lot bugs in
there that report freezes or lockup on Radeon HW. However, I am still not sure
if one of them resembles my case or not.

Before filing a new bug, I thought it's best to try a newer verion of the DRI
driver. I was still using the one from debian unstable (050528 !), but didn't
know how to get a newer one. I now found the download address in one of the bug
reports.

I tried to install the binary builds from 060403. However, the install script
does not find the correct directories on a debian system. Fortunately, a newer
version of libgl1-mesa-dri featuring the 060327 driver appeared just yesterday
in debian alioth (experimental).

So now I have installed this DRI driver. Nearly all works so far (only the game
chromium refuses to run). I will now see, whether the freeze still occurs (may
take some time...).

BTW. I am running on 16 bit always. But I do use DynamicClocks in order to save
energy on my laptop. If the newer driver does not prevent another freeze, I will
disable the dynamicclocks next. If this doesn't help either, I will file a new
bug report.

I have to admit I was quite disappointed to see that there is nowhere a method
described to get more debug info in order to find the culprit of such freezes.
It's awful to see how many people have some kind of freeze and no way to find
out what´s causing it...

Thanks for your help and all the work you put into this driver!!!

Michael
