The reports seem to have started shortly after the upload of mesa 7.6 to unstable, so it's possible this is a long-standing kernel bug being triggered by a new bug in mesa 7.6. 7.6-1 to unstable: Brice Goglin <[email protected]> on Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:03:16 +0000 550562 reported on Sun, 11 Oct 2009 08:55:00 +0200 550977 reported on Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:17:56 +0200 The splitting of the radeon firmware out of the kernel module, on the other hand, seems to have happened with the upload of linux-2.6 2.6.29-1 to unstable, in March 2009.
