[Bryce Harrington <bryce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears we've lost momentum on getting this bug solved, so I think we
should proceed with the backup plan of blacklisting the chip from compiz
and kms until we can verify a proper fix to it.  For this bug report
we'll focus on the compiz blacklisting.

** Summary changed:

- [RV200] [lucid] xorg froze after disabled KMS and enabling compiz on ATI Radeon Mobility 7500
+ Please blacklist ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 from compiz

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu Lucid) => compiz
(Ubuntu Lucid)

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xorg
+ Please mark the Mobility 7500 (1002:4c57) blacklisted in compiz.  In
+ lucid unfortunately there are some regressions in X for this particular
+ hardware.  We're working with upstream to get them sorted out, but I'm
+ losing confidence that we'll have a patch in time for lucid.  As a
+ workaround, until a fix is in hand, we need to blacklist the chip from
+ compiz which will help avoid some of the worst of the issues for now.
  
- In trying workarounds for bug #507148 I disabled KMS by booting with
- radeon.modeset=0. I had compiz disabled, then enabled it. I had screen
- garbling so tried to take a screenshot. This worked but after double
- clicking on the Screenshot.png on my desktop, X froze. I could ssh in,
- so I ran 'ubuntu-bug xorg' from there. I do not have an xorg.conf file.
