Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
After upgrading to Jaunty I am experiencing random freezes. I am assigning it
to the xorg radeon driver because when it happens I am not doing anything else
but scrolling, swapping windows or desktops, and other similar stuff.
The (default) xorg.conf using the EXA architecture is too slow for a normal
usage (even w.o. compiz, which I am not interested in), so I tried EXA with
"greedy" migration heuristics and XAA - with the same result: the system
eventually locks itself up.
It is interesting that after this freeze I cannot just reboot: I have to
shut down the computer, remove the power cable and batteries, plug
everything again, and then I can start. Otherwise it just does not even
reach the GRUB menu. (If you are going to tell me I need a new laptop -
yes I agree; I am selecting one, but in the meantime this is what I
have!)
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28-12-generic #43-Ubuntu. The
radeon driver version is
xserver-xorg-video-radeon:
Installed: 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2 0

and lspci -vvnn is attached.
