Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
driver version 1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2 Running GNOME with
metacity (not compiz for this bug...) on pre-Intrepid i386.
Toshiba A70 laptop (ATI IXP chipset: mobility radeon 9100IGP). Using
Xinerama on internal and VGA CRT. machine booted with CRT plugged in,
so that was the default display. X started without being told to set up
xinerama. GNOME does that with xrandr when I log in.
ran mplayer -nosound ... and paused it to keep the Radeon Video Overlay Xv
adaptor occupied.
ran another mplayer (on a 720p video that this machine doesn't quite have the
horsepower to play with no skips), and dragged the window over to the CRT.
During the dragging back and forth, and resizing, X dies, but gdm is able to
restart it cleanly.
X crashed even more easily with Xv in the previous Intrepid version of
-video-radeon, so this isn't a recent regression. If anything, it's an
improvement. :)
BTW, compiz is totally b0rked on multihead on this GPU. I'll report
that separately if/when I get around to it, if it hasn't been already.
