Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I used other distributions (Mandriva and openSUSE) with the radeonhd
driver, but after I switched to Ubuntu 10.04, I experience random X
crashes when the video driver is loaded. All I get is a black screen
with some random red points at the first lines. I have to restart by
turning off the computer and turning on again.

I guess that this is caused by the radeon video driver. Since I had to
restart the computer, I have no /var/log/Xorg.0.log to append, since the
new one doesn't reflect the crash. I'm not able to provide a full
backtrace, because "ulimit -c" was set to 0 (and I wonder whether this
setting will support a system restart).

Driver version is:

  xserver-xorg-video-ati:
    Installed: 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5
    Candidate: 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5

And Ubuntu version is:

  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04

Is there anything else I need to report the crash? (I don't mind
reporting the bug myself upstream.)

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
