** Description changed:

  -ati driver freezes (CPU spinning in X, not an ioctl GPU lockup) while visiting website http://mundoplus.tv/ using firefox
  This bug goes away completely when you set "DRI" "off".
  
  When compiz is ON, this results in a GPU freeze, xorg bt shows it's
- permently blocking on ioctl() and it takes 0% CPU.
+ permanently blocking on ioctl() and it takes 0% CPU.
  
  When compiz is OFF, this results in 100% CPU spin in xorg (Note: for dual machines this will show up as 50% CPU or 25% CPU for quad core), in this case repeated xorg bt sampling shows:
  #1  0xb7d35ea9 in ioctl () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
  #2  0xb7b30a6d in drmDMA () from /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2
  #3  0xb7aa1948 in .....SOME_FUNCTION_HERE...
  (and basically if you put breakpoints on these three top most stackframes it hits 1 and 2 but not ....SOME_FUNCTION... even though it seems that ....SOME_FUNCTION.... is different from different systems.

  [ORIGINAL BUG REPORT]
  
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  In Ubuntu 8.10 I haven't problems with the 3D aceleration, but since I
  upgrade tu Jaunty my PC usually lockup and it don't answer when I press
  the keys (for example I cant access ttyN with ctrl+alt+N), however I can
  continue using the mouse  although pointer moves too slowly.
  
  This problem happens when I play some games (Supertuxkarts and Planet
  Penguin Rancer) but not with all (OpenArena works fine), and when I
  visit some websites like mundoplus.tv (I think that happens in this site
  because it uses jquery, with flash desactivated it happens too).
  
  My graphic card is X1350.
  pino@pino-hp6820s:~$ lspci | grep Radeon
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Mobility Radeon X1350]
  
  I use radeon's module:
  pino@pino-hp6820s:~$ lsmod | grep radeon
  radeon                342816  3 
  drm                    96296  4 radeon
  
  
  Sorry for my bad English.
