Description Žilvinas Valinskas 2008-02-26 10:11:48 UTC 
I had compiled and installed ATI 6.8.0 driver (mostly I wanted to get XVideo going). Driver git revision:

$ cd projects/repositories/xf86-video-ati-build
$ git rev-parse HEAD
153ad6fcf704cbf9f811d9986cd4baf04e82c9d2

Xorg.0.log will be attached later. In short this is Laptop 2G RAM/Core2/ATI X1600.  Laptop model is HP nx9420. Kernel is vanilla 2.6.25-rc3, the same happens on 2.6.24.2 I think.

Playing movie via 'gmplayer -vo xv <avi-file>' just fine it seems. But if I switch full screen (1680x1050) and back to window mode several times, laptop freezes. Video stops and sound is constantly repeating the same audio fragment ("stutters" all the time) and keeps going. Keyboard is not responding at all, no mouse & etc. 

Laptop hangs 100% if tried. The only way to recover is to power cycle :( Then long fsck and log files turn up without any trace of oops or any other useful information, sorry :( Can't tell if that was a kernel crash or anything else ...

Comment 2 Žilvinas Valinskas 2008-02-29 01:26:58 UTC 
It is even easier than that (No need to start video player at all). It is enough to close the laptop lid. Then open again - screen is dark, keyboard is not responding at all & etc. Laptop dead.

Linux kernel is 2.6.25-rc3 (vanilla), revision:

$ git describe HEAD
v2.6.25-rc3-81-g7704a8b

lsmod output, dmesg will be attached next.

This was a radeon bug, bugzilla entry was already adjusted, no further 
action required.

can you try with ati git master?
Comment 9 Žilvinas Valinskas 2009-09-28 12:16:33 UTC 
Works for me, with latest stable and from git, no more problems.
