GPU Lockup when maximizing an application window.

[slmnhq]

Binary package hint: xorg

Display goes blank when maximizing an application window.
Not always repeatable but happens often enough.
Usually the system is running the following applications: Mozilla Thunderbird, Google Chrome and Terminal.
Only way to recover is by a hard reboot.
The system does NOT have compiz installed (I manually removed and purged the packages immediately after installing Meerkat).
The system was cold started with Meerkat recently (i.e. not upgraded from a previous release).

The following traceback is seen in /var/log/messages:

Hey slmnhq,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

[slmnhq (salman-haq)]

I'll post the results after I upgrade. Should be soon.

[slmnhq (salman-haq)]

Ok, so after upgrading to Natty, the problem has gotten worse to the point that the system is unusable.

Launching an application window causes my machine to lockup completely so I am unable to gather any meaningful stats.

I also installed Natty on a Mac Mini computer and it works fine on that without any issues. So it is closely related to the hardware setup of my other server.

At this point I am giving up on this problem because it has been too much of a time suck.
