I have the laptop with Radeon Xpress 1200/1250/1270 (RS690M) chipset on which the current linux-distributed xorg is freezing (Ubuntu and Mint distros). Freezing happens after few minutes of work in graphics. FreeBSD, however, runs fine. I found that radeon driver in Linux (apt) repositories is currently newer: linux has 7.1.0 on server 1.13.3, and FreeBSD ports still have 6.14.3 on server 1.7.7 (latest X.org stable version is 1.14.1) So I believe there is some regression in the upstream version 7.1.0 and I would like to suggest abstaining from adopting any further versions from the upstream until this issue is resolved. Please see the details in Xorg PR: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66711 Yuri
