Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Frequently, after running for some time, X freezes its display. Programs continue running in the background, keyboard and mouse are still live, but meanwhile the display fades to black.

Restarting X using ctrl+alt+backspace fixes the problem immediately.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In the development cycle for Intrepid there have been some vast improvements in the open source ati video driver and we could use your help testing them. Could you please download the latest Alpha CD image of Intrepid and test this particular bug just using the Live CD? You can find the latest image at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Your testing can help make Ubuntu and the open source ati driver even better! Thanks in advance.

Hi Ryan, it's been some time since we last heard from you - are you still interested in this bug? If so, it'd be great if you could re-test it against intrepid, and provide the info mentioned above. Otherwise, we'll close this as expired.
