[Bug 565790] [NEW] [RV710 & RV730] X freezes starting on 10th April

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

The crashes happen with no warning and nothing I can see in the logs
(but I wouldn't really know what to look for and where).

Since changing to the fglrx non-free driver I have had no such crashes.
The crashes started after updates on the 10th April.

Previously the screen froze, but today I had a grey screen with white
stripes coming down.

There is a forum thread, however there appears to be a number of different issues there.

I apologise for struggling to be able to understand what else I can do
to help (
