I originally commented on the duplicate Bug #259808. I have to say I experienced hard locks, forcing me to reboot from the power button because alt-sysreq-REISUB doesn't work on my laptop. On a fully updated kubuntu 8.10, open source ati driver for my X700, and EXA mode, I wasn't able to reproduce the lock-ups. It just happened randomly. Then I tried to enable backports, but no success: still lockups. Finally, I switched desktop effects off and no more lock-ups since then. Is anyone experiencing the same? Are desktop effects triggering Xorg to lock-up in some way?
