When I scroll in the firefox or some other programs screen freezes. I mean I
can't click on anything, but mouse cursor is visible and moving. There is no
tearing or artifacts on the screen but it remains frozen. One day I was
compiling the kernel when this freeze happened but my compilation job finished
to the end.

I really encourage you to see this link for more info about the symptoms other
people experienced. I've read all of it and I have experienced most them as
well.

I can switch to linux shell (I mean alt + ctrl + F1) works. However, I'm not
familiar with gdb. If you give me some basic instructions I would provide you
with the required debugging info.

Ok. I would do that.

yes I am. My config was like this.
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="/radeon/R520_cp.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/"

I should add that similar config works fine on the 64 bit version of the
kernel.
