Every day or so, I'll click something and my screens go blank for a second or two. dmesg complains about a lockup, and afterwards everything is painfully slow. (Even switching focus to other emacs windows takes a second or two.) Once this happens, if I restart X, I get a blank screen, although the mouse still works and I can switch VTs and use the console.
My userspace driver is xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.0.0-0.9.20121015gitbd9e2c064.fc18.src.rpm. I have Option "ColorTiling2D" "true", but I'm not sure this matters. lspci says: 08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos [Radeon HD 6450] [ 7508.750753] radeon 0000:08:00.0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 5102593msec [ 7508.750757] radeon 0000:08:00.0: GPU lockup (waiting for 0x0000000000000155 last fence id 0x0000000000000154) [ 7508.751832] radeon 0000:08:00.0: Saved 71 dwords of commands on ring 0.
