  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
  
  After upgrading to Jaunty I am experiencing random freezes.  I am assigning it to the xorg radeon driver because when it happens I am not doing anything else but scrolling, swapping windows or desktops, and other similar stuff.  
  The (default) xorg.conf using the EXA architecture is too slow for a normal usage (even w.o. compiz, which I am not interested in), so I tried EXA with "greedy" migration heuristics and XAA - with the same result: the system eventually locks itself up.  
  
  It is interesting that after this freeze I cannot just reboot: I have to
  shut down the computer, remove the power cable and batteries, plug
  everything again, and then I can start.  Otherwise it just does not even
  reach the GRUB menu. (If you are going to tell me I need a new laptop -
  yes I agree; I am selecting one, but in the meantime this is what I
  have!)
  
  I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28-12-generic #43-Ubuntu.  The
  radeon driver version is
  
  xserver-xorg-video-radeon:
    Installed: 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
