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
