Comment 91 for bug 16873

I have the same problem as Osmo Laitinen with the same platform.

Dell Latitude C610 laptop with Radeon Mobility M6 LY [Radeon Mobility 9000].

Ubuntu Dapper freezing randomly, and the only way to escape is to take out the battery and power off.

I never had these problems in Breezy, which I used all the time on this laptop. Windows also doesn't have this problem, so it can't be hardware.

There is no information in the /var/log files either.

It is really frustrating, and makes the whole experience unusable as I keep losing work. I'll try to turn off some of the ati features as suggested here or use the vesa driver.
