Hi,

I tried both the stock driver and the 2.7.0 driver, both behaving
similarly as follows:

- They both freeze often when the touchscreen is touched too many times.
- When the following is added as follows in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

Then I noticed that the occurence of freezes reduces drastically, but
still happens for both drivers.

- Something new came with switching to UXA.
  Sometimes the screen does one very fast flick (almost unnoticeable), and then it goes away, then comes back after a long time.

- One difference that I noticed was that the UXA method also makes the whole screen go black, but the computer does not freeze, as I can still go to CTRL+ALT+F1 and restart GDM.
   But this only occured in the stock driver so far, but I have not tested long enough to see if it occurs in the new one as well.

Hope all this info helps.
