Here's the xorg log.
By the way, the problem has been there for the past 8 months.
Problem is gone with mainline kernel 2.6.34! Closing as we believe it's fixed in lastest kernel+mesa |

Hi all, My system crashes reproducibly running - Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64 bit - Radeon driver on latest Kernel from Ubuntu 10.04 - ATI HIS 4670 iceq - Google Earth 5.2 or 6.0 beta (doesn't matter which version) How to reproduce: - Run Google Earth and zoom into the globe - Start Firefox, goto Google maps; zoom in, out, pan The whole system usually hangs within 30 seconds. Starting Firefox is no really needed, but it accelerates the problem. Effect: - Screen turns black, white, sometimes with stripes. - Ctrl-Alt-BckSpc/Fx does not work. - Have to power off the machine. Workaround: - Have to use ATI's fglrx; the problem disappears with this driver, so I'm pretty sure it's the radeon driver in the Linux kernel causing the problem. Here is a delta of packages I got when installing fglrx: diff with-fglrx.txt before-fglrx.txt 124d123 < ii dkms 2.1.1.2-2fakesync1 Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework 175,176d173 < ii fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 Video driver for the ATI graphics accelerators < ii fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 Catalyst Control Center for the ATI graphics accelera 1337c1334 < it python-gmenu 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 an implementation of the freedesktop menu specificati --- > ii python-gmenu 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 an implementation of the freedesktop menu specificati I tried switching back to radeon: problem is there! Switched again to fglrx: problem gone! Kindly look into this; fglrx has other problems (like compiz effects being terribly slow) Thanks&br Tom
