Comment 6 for bug 654515

Dave,

I'm away from the problematic laptop at the moment, but reading the
description my issue is the exact same one. The description of the bug is
precisely what I see. I think you can label my bug as a duplicate. I will,
however, take a look in my Xorg.0.log tomorrow and let you know the result.

Thanks for pointing this one out!
