Public bug reported:
Ever since I updated from gutsy to hardy, my Laptop freezes whenever I
boot the system with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and start an X session
(kdm + kde) using the radeon open source driver. Most of the time I can
still move the mouse pointer, but the rest of the system is not
responding and I can't even switch to a tty. Other times the whole
screen gets messed up and scrambled and even the mouse isn't responding
any more. What's weird is, that I don't get that freeze if I boot the
system with a mouse plugged into one of the Laptops USB ports. As long
as I keep the mouse plugged, the system runs smooth, but as soon as I
unplug the mouse, the system freezes. I worked around that bug by using
the vesa driver for now.
My system:
Acer TravelMate 4002LMi with Mobility Radeon 9700 (64 MB RAM)
I attached my Xorg log file and the dmesg output. If you need more info,
just let me know.
