Created attachment 36126 [details] xorg.conf as generated by sax2 I am using a PCI-Type graphics card with chipset RV280. (PCI, not PCI-E nor AGP). When using either the "radeon" or the "ati" driver, it reproducibly crashes my system (total freeze, no further operation possible, even ping to the system does not work any more) In contrast, both the old fglrx - driver on older installations (does not compile any more on a recent system) and the fbdev - driver work flawlessly. Please find all the log files I could get a hold on attached to this report.
Created attachment 36127 [details] output of dmesg after succcessful startx - "stop"x This is the output of dmesg after entering and quitting from X, in case there was no crash.

Please let me know if you need further information!
By the way: I tried to fiddle around with options in the "Device" field of xorg.conf, but all in vain. Therefore I decided it might be best to provide "plain" output of sax2 - it is as good and as bad as anything else I tried out. Thank you very much for looking into this, take care Dieter Jurzitza
