Bug#363677: libgl1-mesa-dri: Display freezes on RADEON 9250 when second OpenGL screensaver runs

[Nate Bargmann]

Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 6.4.1-0.4
Followup-For: Bug #363677


I have an ATI RADEON 9250 based video card that I cannot run more than
one OpenGL screensaver on before the screen freezes.  The system becomes
unresponsive with only the mouse cursor movable on the screen.
Neither Ctl-Alt-Backspace nor Ctl-Alt-Del will revive the system.

I am running Sid updated as of this morning with Xorg 7.0.18,
libgl1-mesa-dri 6.4.1, and xscreensaver-gl 4.24.  I have a similar setup
working fine on an IBM T23 Thinkpad with the Savage chipset.  So long as
I don't run any OpenGL apps, I have not noticed any problems.
libgl1-mesa-dri is currently installed and glxinfo reports DRI is
enabled.

I have also provided information to the FreeDesktop.org BTS at:

Thanks.
