Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I have a Radeon 9200 PRO (0300: 1002:5960 (rev 01) according to lspci
-n), and attempting to use the free "radeon" driver in X works fine,
unless I try to use glxgears or any other 3D rendering application. In
that case, X will cease responding to input, though SSHing into the
machine will continue to work, and I will be forced to restart X.
Under Dapper and Edgy, using this driver, direct rendering reports No,
but under Dapper, the 3D apps merely run incredibly slowly, rather than
requiring a restart of X if one spawns.
My Xorg.0.log shows nothing interesting on this occuring:
# tail -n 10 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Error opening /dev/wacom : Success
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/wacom"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom

Error opening /dev/wacom : Success
(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
(**) RADEON(0): RADEONSaveScreen(2)
Additionally, restarting X via /etc/init.d/gdm restart fails in this
case - X will not return, nor am I able to switch to console, until I
restart the system.
** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
