--- Comment #10 from Andre andros@all-ein.net 2012-11-25 19:03:33 --- I can confirm this bug on my AMD A8-3550-m Kernel 3.5.7 and 3.6.6 -> radeon.modeset=1
The trouble began about tree days ago, as i updated my Gentoo system (stable branch) and the following updates where installed:
xorg-server 1.12.4 => 1.13.0-r1 mesa 8.0.4-r1 => 9.0 xf86-video-ati 6.14.6-r1 => 7.0.0
After that i had strange artifacts in X and random crashes of the X-server. Where the mouse is movable but the windows are frozen and the screen turns black after a a short time.
I have test-installed 3 other linux distributions, all came out with the same bug, after upgrading the installations to the latest stable releases.
Sadly only after tree days of experimenting, i came to the conclusion that this error only occurs when the VGA output is active. With the LVDA or HDMI output i have no problems so far.
It's really sad to see, that this bug is two months old and now shows up in major Linux Distributions, in the >>stable-branches<<.
