["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

SimonC, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  screen becomes garbled and system freezes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Screen either becomes garbled or goes grey/white or multicoloured
  vertical stripes associated with complete system freeze that requires
  holding down the power button down until system powers off.  When the
  screen becomes garbled the mouse pointer is often still visible on top
  of the garbled image.

  The frequency and cuase of the freezes varies but when using firefox
  opening a new tab often induces it.

  I have experienced this under 11.10 64 bit install using both a
  standard setup and after trying the xorg-edgers ppa.  I have also
  repoduced the problem using a Mandriva 2011 live cd.  I dual boot the
  machine with Windows XP and that works without issue.

  My laptop is a Compaq NX6125 with a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics card which uses 128Mb of system memory.  I am also using the default radeon driver.
