[Bug 16873] Re: system freeze when using ati radeon 7000 with xorg "ati" driver

[srfeo]

I applied the updated .deb two days ago, switched back to the "ati"
driver from "vesa" and so far have not seen any harware lockups like
when I first installed Dapper.  This is my video hardware:

:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
Mobility M6 LY

[Bug 16873] Re: system freeze when using ati radeon 7000 with xorg "ati" driver

[srfeo]

I have the same problem as Osmo Laitinen with the same platform.

Dell Latitude C610 laptop with Radeon Mobility M6 LY [Radeon Mobility
9000].

Ubuntu Dapper freezing randomly, and the only way to escape is to take
out the battery and power off.

I never had these problems in Breezy, which I used all the time on this
laptop.  Windows also doesn't have this problem, so it can't be
hardware.

There is no information in the /var/log files either.

It is really frustrating, and makes the whole experience unusable as I
keep losing work.  I'll try to turn off some of the ati features as
suggested here or use the vesa driver.
