I've experianced this on my T61 laptop, and my work machine (Radeon X1300 series)

I'm currently running ubuntu 10.10 which is 2.6.35-25, so if it is the same problem, it wasn't introduced between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37.

like the OP of the bug report, this is not something that happens frequently, but I don't do much that stresses the video, so starting all these tabs is about as hard as I drive it.

That is probably a different issue (maybe also ddx or mesa related). Possibly fixed by this drm patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdif...
