Aya makes a good point, and a great suggestion, thanks aya. However, many of you reporting this but may not be familiar with getting/installing a mainline kernel, so if you aren't then I would suggest you try the Ubuntu proposed kernel which is 2.6.28-12.43. That kernel cured the problem for some others reporting a similar bug.
To get the proposed kernel use synaptic and to go Settings ->Repositories -> Updates, check proposed-jaunty, close then from from Edit menu select Redo, New Repository should appear in left window, Select New Repository, and in right window select Image file, apply, and the new image and initrd will install and you can alter your /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the 12.43 kernel and see if the problem subsides. If you know how to add jaunty-proposed to your apt sources.list then do so and you can use apt-get to install the 12.43 image file. pleas continue to post your success stories or failures about this bug here in the comments section thx jt -- [RV250][JAUNTY] X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
