Same problem here: Dell Studio XPS Laptop 1647 It's definitely something with powermanagement when using battery.
When I enable my build-in webcam the system freezes within 10 seconds. Even when I attach my tiny Ipod Shuffle the system freezes. I managed to keep my system stable by doing 2 things: - Reduce the backlight - Use the Catalyst Control Center. Set Powerplay to Maximum Battery. -- System freezes when running on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
