Hi Michel BTW, if you or anyone else having stability issues with radeon KMS in AGP mode could try if the attached kernel patch makes a difference, that would be interesting. I finally got round to trying this out. I compiled the kernel sources in linux-source-3.13 (version 3.13.10-1) packa

Hi Michel Does adding radeon.agpmode=1 or radeon.agpmode=-1 to the kernel command line avoid the crashes? I added radeon.agpmode=-1, X has now been running fine for 30 minutes or so. With radeon.agpmode=1 I got no noticeable change of behaviour. Thank you very much for your swift and precise
