** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  This was a Ubuntu 8.04 fresh install on Viglen Dossier LX.  Every few
  hours, apparently randomly, everything freezes apart from the mouse
  pointer.  Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing, but I can ping the
  laptop.  Typically this occurs when scrolling up or down in Firefox
  using touchpad or keyboard, and there is some screen corruption at the
  bottom of the scroll bar (as if a blit failed or was interrupted?).
  
  The symptoms aren't quite the same as bug #36596, bug #248438: it does
  seem closest to bug #184430 which was attributed to a faulty adapter,
  but again doesn't sound identical, nor to (Debian bug) #459428 which
  sounded unresolved.  No visual effects, because it claims they are not
  available; before the hang I can switch to a console.  I've tried Option
  "RenderAccel" "off" and Option "AGPMode" "2" for  "Configured Video
  Device" but neither seems to help, nor reducing AGP aperture in BIOS.
  
  Xorg.0.log shows the uninformative:
  mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.
  tossed event which came in late

  22:30:05 [b7f64410] read(37, "\233\7\2\0E\"\203\2\233\4\5\0F\"\203\2:\"\203\0028\0\0"..., 4096) = 208
  22:30:05 [b7f64410] ioctl(7, 0xc0286429, 0xbff07634) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)
  
  (I'll upload fuller strace and try getting more info via SSH as
  described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing )
