Title:
  Enabling 'radeon.dpm=1' kernel parameter makes Xorg full crash

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When you try to enable 'radeon.dpm=1' parameter into ubuntu linux
  kernel it makes strange things with display server like: corrupt
  graphics, screen blinks and other crazy stuff. However, if you try to
  watch a movie, xorg crashes and you have to restart your computer
  because you can't run any action, i mean, the screen frezes.

  In the other hand, i actually don't know if xorg-server crashes
  because of 'radeon.dpm=1', or it's radeon driver itself which is
  crashing xorg-server using 'radeon.dpm=1" parameter.

  I'm using a AMD Radeon HD of the 6800 series in Ubuntu Trusty Tahr
  14.04.
