The bug persists in Dapper! Vaio - PCG C1 MHP Radeon Mobility M6 LY Driver ati + dri (standard installation) Will try non-dri and stuff soon.
Unfortunately I can't tell with which update this bug appeared, but it was in Sept. 2005. By they way, buttons in gnome show some distortion sometimes, which seems to be related to this bug. Ever since I saw this distortion, my system is freezing every once in a while. The distortion is regular. Black or gray pixels every 10-20 pixels in both axis. I will be more specific later and try to provide a screenshot. This really should be fixed. Especially for the server people. I have a Poweredge server as well and I can't connect to it any more after the last update. This was a Debian sarge to etch update = xf86 to xorg update, so this bug seems to be hitting not just Ubuntu. Anyhow, I would like this to be fixed in Dapper also! I understand long term support differently either! PS.: It took me until now to figure out, that it was not my hardware's fault. I bought a new Laptop in the meantime because I believed otherwise and I rely on Linux. -- system freeze when using ati radeon 7000 with xorg "ati" driver https://launchpad.net/bugs/16873 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
