Hi,

@Tormod Volden:
Just tried new xorg-radeon driver from your PPA.

The new radeon driver doesnt fix my opengl freeze problem when compositing is beeing used, which is / similiar to the following bug reports:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/351990

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/348332

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/350766

and Ubuntu Forum (german)

http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/kde-stuerzt-mit-desktop-effekten-staendig-ab/

However it seems to have fixed some sort of memory leak.
With standard Jaunty radeon package xorg process used up to 500MB of memory after excessive use. With the new driver it only goes up to a max of 250MB
