6.06LTS crashes a few minutes after login

I have reconfigured Xorg to use the "ati" driver instead of the "radeon" driver. In this configuration the system has been running with xinerama for several hours with no crashes so far.

THis happens to me on a Radeon M6 LY card as well. Freezes are less frequent and far between when I used xorg 7 in Dapper, though when I upgraded to Edgy it freezed every time on glxinfo with this error in syslog:

Aug 25 20:24:29 jakelaptop1 kernel: [17180500.080000] [drm:radeon_cp_reset] *ERROR* radeon_cp_reset called without lock held

Actually I do not know.

I gave up using an external monitor what that particular ubuntu laptop
because of this bug.

What method are you using to use your external monitor ?
Could you please provide us the /etc/X11/xorg.conf you used ?

Here it is.

As can be seen from commented out lines, attempts was made with each of
the drivers, vesa, ati and radeon, as well as with and without dri.

Do you still have this issue with the latest release of Ubuntu ?

Any news on this ?

Closing as out of date.
