compiz freeze with ATI Radeon X600

[Gerard Dethier]

Binary package hint: compiz

After some time, the system freezes. However, the mouse is still moving but pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE or CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE does not work.
To reboot the PC, a hard reset is needed. It is also possible to connect to the computer through SSH and call reboot. Disabling the compiz effects solves the problem.

It seems the problem comes from the "ati open driver" used with an X-Series ATI video card (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/190948).

Suggestion: This video card (1002:5b62: RV380[Radeon X600 (PCIE)]) should be blacklisted in the compiz startup script until the bug is fixed...
