Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon

I'm not sure that this is the right package against which to file this
bug, so please reassign if needed.

This bug has been observed identically with xserver-xorg-video-radeon as
shipped in current Lucid (1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5), and in the xorg-edgers PPA
(1:6.13.99+git20100525.428125c0-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid).

I have an ATI FireGL 8800 (R200) on an amd64 system running an up-to-
date Ubuntu Lucid.

First of all, I should point out that OpenGL is currently broken in this
configuration. Full-screen GL games will not start up due to bug
#557266, and windowed GL programs are clearly not accelerated. I
previously had Jaunty installed on this system, and 3D acceleration
worked fine then.

This bug was encountered while using Wings3D (package "wings3d") sans
acceleration. I create a simple object (say a cube), select a vertex,
and then attempt to move that vertex around freely using the mouse. What
should happen is a smooth movement of the vertex and the edges connected
to it. Instead, however, (1) the screen freezes, (2) if music was
playing in the background, the last quarter-second or so starts looping,
and (3) after about ten seconds, the system reboots.

The only thing particular about the vertex-move action in Wings3D, so
far as I can see, is that it's drawing and redrawing the edge-lines
fairly rapidly. The program's intent, of course, is to present a smooth
motion that follows the mouse input. (I have not encountered the
crash/reboot in any other GL program so far.)

I believe the nature of this bug warrants a High importance, and I'll
gladly provide whatever telemetry will help track it down.
