Hi all,

I'm not an ubuntu user (Debian actually), however a google search for this issue has led me here. I am pretty sure I'm seeing the same problem while running an opengl app with this driver (hard random lockup, frozen screen, magic sysrq key is useless). I believe I've found the cause and have a viable fix. I've generated a bug report with the patch at freedesktop.org. Go to here if you want to examine / test:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14937

I am curious to know if this fixes the problem for people here (thus adding further confirmation that I found it). My e-mail address is included there with the bug report.
