Comment 54 for bug 195051

After posting my success with Fedora 8 on the freedesktop lists (linked above), I did discover a similar bug on Red Hat's bugzilla indicating problems with the 6.6.3-1 ati driver. It's an older bug, and I have still been unable to duplicate the problem with the newer 6.8.0-1 drivers. It makes me wonder if it may be a problem with another package, something that may differ in Fedora 8, but may be common to Ubuntu 7.10, 8.04, Debian unstable, and Arch (and possibly more?). It's also entirely possible that I've just been lucky for the last three weeks. I don't currently have time to check for package version differences between Fedora and the others, but I will keep running this install to see if the freeze shows up. I do still have a Hardy workstation with an ATI X600 exhibiting the freeze, so when I have a bit of free time I'll start checking versions of Xorg and Compiz related packages on both the Hardy and the Fedora machines.
