Ever since I updated from gutsy to hardy, my Laptop freezes whenever I boot the system with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and start an X session (kdm + kde) using the radeon open source driver. Most of the time I can still move the mouse pointer, but the rest of the system is not responding and I can't even switch to a tty. Other times the whole screen gets messed up and scrambled and even the mouse isn't responding any more. What's weird is, that I don't get that freeze if I boot the system with a mouse plugged into one of the Laptops USB ports. As long as I keep the mouse plugged, the system runs smooth, but as soon as I unplug the mouse, the system freezes. I worked around that bug by using the vesa driver for now.
My system:
Acer TravelMate 4002LMi with Mobility Radeon 9700 (64 MB RAM)
I attached my Xorg log file and the dmesg output. If you need more info, just let me know.
