[Bug 621863] [NEW] radeon driven screen turns black suddenly

[Silentia Dementia]

Public bug reported:

The open source radeon driver makes big problems for my HD4650 in maverick. The crash occured in a sudden. 
Furthermore I have misrenderings in 3D apps. When I move the compiz cube every 1 to 3 seconds the filling of the framebuffer doesnt start at the top (in my unaware opinion).
The screen also turns black by switching from an misrendered plymouth screen to gdm. The plymouth screen hasnt the right resolution and splashes only for under a second.
