[ltp] Problem with T43p and Xorg: hard freeze :-(

[Reynald Borer]

Hi guys,

Recently I bought a brand new T43p 15", and I'm experiencing some hard 
freezes with Xorg when using the radeon driver.

My distribution is Gentoo Linux, and I'm currently using the VESA driver 
on Xorg 6.8.2 but it's really slow for videos...

Here are the symptoms:
- I do a startx that works only with a solid background; if there is a 
background image then it freeze as soon as started.
- I open a terminal, it's ok but the display is somewhat no very fluid, 
when I type some text parts of it is displayed with a little delay.
- As soon as I try to move the window, it doesn't move but freeze, then 
half a second later my mouse does not respond any more, hard freeze, I 
need to use the power button to stop the computer. Even with Magic SysRq 
compiled in the kernel it's completely frozen.

Any hints on this problem ? I've already tried "DynamicClocks Off" in my 
xorg.conf but it does not help. I'm also not able to use ATI binary 
driver because my Xorg is compiled with dloader (if you know gentoo then 
you'll know what I'm talking about).

Thanks in advance for your help,
Reynald

P.S: I have the framebuffer activated in my kernel.
P.S2: I tried with Windows XP (bouh  :-( ) playing a video game and no 
problems, so it's not a hardware problem...
