X is xorg 6.8.99.5 radeon or ati driver. >Description: With an xorg.conf using ati or radeon driver, when using gtk based apps, the system freeze from the user point of view: only a power switch off can be done. The speed of the internal fans increase (forever loop?). I have encounter the problem with many gtk based apps: firefox, nautilus, gnumeric... and the gtk buttonbox demo. I have been able once to freeze the laptop while exporting the display on another computer. I can provide much more details on request. >How-To-Repeat: Browse the web with firefox or try to open a file. Resize the buttonbox gtk demo window. >Fix: Replace "radeon" or "ati" by "vesa" in the xorg.conf file. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
