           Summary: radeon 9000/9250 crashes withing minutes with latest
                    drivers
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.3
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: regression
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: hramrach at centrum.cz
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


I tried installing Ubuntu Gutsy, and the included ati driver (something like
6.6.193) locked up. Downgrading to older driver fixed the problem.

stable: Debian 6.6.3 ati driver package

broken: 6.6.193, 6.7.192, 6.7.194 (current)

The lockup happens within a few minutes, usually running Firefox and browsing
some moderately graphics intensive site like launchpad.net makes it lock up
quite fast.

Sometimes the system locks up completely, sometimes mouse or the ACPI power
button works. In some cases the power button did not do anything but I am not
sure I had anything configured on it. Sometimes slight display corruption
appears. The displayed picture does not update until poweroff.

For X logs see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/139210

Tested on two systems with recent ~ 2.6.21 Linux kernel, one old i440BX with
Radeon 9000, other some Via chipset with Sempron CPU and Radeon 9250.

The newest driver tested only on the later.
