Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
Ubuntu 8.10, video card HIS HD 4650, driver Catalyst 8.x~9.x
When taking screenshots for selected regions (GIMP
File\Create\Screenshot\Area\Select a region to grab), my computer will
completely freeze, the only thing can do is the hold power button for 6
seconds to power off. Making screenshots for the whole desktop, selected
window is fine. Everything works fine for my onboard video card (which
is nvidia 7050/610i, but the power management failed for nvidia card).
Step to replicate:
1. a computer with ATI card, install catalyst driver 8.x or 9.x,
2. start gimp, select File\Create\Screenshot\Area\Select a region to grab, then
start dragging the cursor
3. computer will not respond unless power off
(It could either gimp or fglrx-driver was making the trouble)
** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu)
