Here is 2 bugs reported in one bug report!

First one is GPU hang which is hard to fix. The best bet is to try
newer driver version if problem is fixed there.
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds are providing the
the latest version of the driver.

Second is memory allocation failure that is fixed in Linus' 2.6 git
tree with commits:
7a9f0dd9c49425e2b0e39ada4757bc7a38c84873 drm: Add generic multipart buffer.
b4fe945405e477cded91772b4fec854705443dd5 drm/radeon: Fix memory
allocation failures in the preKMS command stream checking.
55a5cb5d594c18b3147a2288b00ea359c1a38cf8 drm/radeon: Fix printf type
warning in 64bit system.

Second problem only affects UMS code path.
