Lockups are always GPU specific things, but the symptoms of a freeze are almost identical so it's hard to tell them apart. The error message is also a generic one, it just means that something noticed the GPU had locked up. So just because you got that message doesn't mean it's the same bug.
I've written a troubleshooting guide for these kinds of problems, here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze Since it appears a number of people have 'me-too-ed' onto this bug report that don't have the same hardware and thus almost certainly don't have the same actual bug, I'm going to close this bug, and ask that each person report a NEW bug with their problem, against their video driver. See the above link for additional troubleshooting tips. The most important thing is to provide detailed steps to reproduce your freeze. In Karmic we hope to be providing some tools that will make it easier to report and troubleshoot lockups. Meanwhile, if you include the word "freeze" in the title of your bug report, we'll be able to find and follow up on it with you when the tools become available. -- [X1650 Pro] Xorg lockup when using xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.9.0+git20080826.a3cc1d7a-2ubuntu3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
