Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx

System randomly hangs when using dual monitors.  X server becomes
completely unresponsive, unable to switch to tty (ctrl+alt+f1).
Strangely, if there was audio playing, it continues fine.

The hang usually occurs when watching video on one screen and doing
something else on the other.  I have repeated the crash using VLC and
Totem.  The hang has also occured when running a virtual machine one one
head and something else on the other.

The system becomes unresponsive before any logs are written to disk, so
there is nothing in kern.log, syslog, or messages.  When the hang
reoccurs I will hopefully find some log messages to help here.

More info:

Kernel: 2.6.31-16
xorg-driver-fglrx: 2:8.660
Compiz is enabled.

I couldn't find any similar bugs here.  #333027 is close, but my bug
does not involve video playback exclusively.
