Greetings, There's a major X stability problem with Transmeta Crusoe CPUs and Radeon Mobility graphics hardware, discussed in Debian bug 216933, in X.org bugzilla, and at http://www.cs.auc.dk/~fleury/bug_cms/ . This bug causes X to crash seemingly randomly at a rate of approximately every 2-5 hours, depending on applications running and various other factors. It has been the bane of my existence since I upgraded to sarge last February.
Fortunately, there is a workaround, which is to install the -dbg flavor of the X server. For the sake of our users, I feel we should put this in a "known bugs" section of the Sarge/3.1 release notes for the "i386" platform. I hate to think that users of stable will have to deal with such a significant problem without any warning/documentation, so at least documenting it prominently would probably help such users quite a bit. I'd be happy to suggest wording for such a section, just let me know. Please CC me in replies.
