Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I don't know if this is the same or slightly different from bugs 503393 and 542603 also filed me relating to xserver freezes. Yesterday I was working on thunderbird and the system froze. Today it had happened again, again working on thunderbird.

The Xorg.0.log.old says one strange thing:

(II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-F8D9B4EE1D9075AF4B1C23C75362EE93E14954A0.xkm
disable LVDS
enable LVDS

Yesterday, after searching around for this xorg message found a link that suggested I should create radeon-kms.conf inside /etc/modrobe.d with the line "options radeon modeset=0". I did this and also disabled all desktop effects. But things froze again.

Grateful for help

THis is more information on the above xorg freeze. This time my notebook was connected to a Toshiba LCD projector for a presentation. The projection went on fine for some seconds and then suddenly the external monitor went blank

Later on I found the ddxSigGiveUp message in the Xserver log.

pramathesh ambasta, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
