Could you change your device section to :
Section "Device"
        Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]"
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "BusType" "PCI"
EndSection

Test and report if it helps.

does it help if you remove this block of code from radeon-driver.c:

if (info->IsMobility) {
    if (xf86ReturnOptValBool(info->Options, OPTION_DYNAMIC_CLOCKS, FALSE)) {
        RADEONSetDynamicClock(pScrn, 1);
    } else {
        RADEONSetDynamicClock(pScrn, 0);
    }
}

rebuild and install the updated driver and then fully shut down the laptop and power it off before powering it back on again.

if that doesn't help, also try removing the following code from radeon_driver.c:

if (IS_R300_VARIANT || IS_RV100_VARIANT)
    RADEONForceSomeClocks(pScrn);

and repeat.

does not solve the problem. I'll try the next one. Also it mostly happnes to me when I use an external monitor at VGA-0 and the LVDS is truned off.

This is so frustrating, same issue here, but on intrepid ibex.

Every single verison of ubuntu I've have tried (6.10 fordward) has this bug... and some months later they fix it.. and in the new version the bug remains.

And now there are a lot of web post saying that this ATI cards are actually being blacklisted.

Can somebody really help us??

do we better get a new video card (maybe NVIDIA ??)... or maybe a new working linux distro? (somebody knows one that doesn't has this bug?)
