Bug 95452

Freeze happens sometimes when playing video (but it's not necessary), generally once every day, I never got past 2-3 days, very unpredictable. Does not happen with fglrx driver, does not happen on windows.

Screen freezes, nothing works, not even the mouse as some other bugs have reported. If audio was playing, it gets stuck in a last second or so loop. I need to fully unplug the system to get it to even restart, power/reset buttons also don't work.

It didn't happen 3 or so years ago (it's an old card). I got hit by this but in Ubuntu, Gentoo and Arch, distribution doesn't seem to matter. I tried using a low power profile, didn't do anything.

I'm reporting this since distributions are moving away from fglrx I would need to replace the card if I can't get it to work, it didn't really bother me while the proprietary driver was still working.

I'm willing to try out patches, recompile kernels/mesa/whatever if I can get this to work. Any logs you need, if there's some "enable debug output" or anything.

lspci using fglrx driver:
