[Bug 36596] Re: system freeze after clicking task manager trash icon in "pan" newsreader

[Paul Drain]

Adam,

Thanks for the information. Dropping the color depth to 16 does indeed
fix the hard locks on both systems, suspend-to-whatever, the
screensaver, OOo and firefox can all run without hanging the system now.

First time i've been able to use my machine for more than a few hours
without a hardlock in months.

As for the artifacts, I have no idea why, but after adding:

Option    "AGPMode"    "2"

To the Device section of my xorg.conf file (found on one of the numerous
'how to get performance out of your ATI card sites' out there) --
everything seems to work normally.
