[Bug 36596] Re: system freeze after clicking task manager trash icon in "pan" newsreader

[Daniel F Moisset]

I'm watching into the same problem for a Dell C610 laptop with a 16MB
Radeon Mobility M6 LY. I have had a crash since upgrading to Dapper
yesterday, and artifacts in the buttons (mostly vertical or horizontal
dashed lines at regular intervals). The artifacts appear consistently on
the "Help" and "Close" buttons of the update-manager, or in the "Help",
"Cancel" and "OK" of the network-admin. Moving the mouse over the
buttons redisplays them correctly.

The system worked previously with no problems in Breezy before the
upgrade. After the crash no traces of it are left at the system logs, or
Xorg log. No response to SysRq either.

I seem to have no glx problems (gl screensavers work fine). I lowered my
display depth to 16bpp to see if it helps with the crashes. However, the
"AGPMode" setting didn't help solving the artifacts.
