Is it the same with the new mesa 7.6.0-1ubuntu1 ? If you also could try the mesa packages from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ that would be useful.

@Tormod Volden. I had a fellow at my LUG today having this issue. He has an R200 based chip (Radeon Mobility 9000). This is an Ubuntu Karmic Nebook install, all updates as of today.

The updated mesa from x-swat's x-updates did not solve the issue.

The only solution we found was to create an xorg.conf file to set NoAccel to true. It works and is stable now, but is rather extremely slow.

What other information do you need from his machine? Any other things you would like to try?

This might look very different in Lucid (which uses KMS and DRI2). Can you please test for instance the latest Lucid alpha live CD?

Hi Lars,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 441565

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 441565 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug xorg

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:
