           Summary: Issues with radeon driver in 6.8.2rc1
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Radeon

We have 6.8.2rc1 in Mandrakelinux Cooker. Since updating my laptop to this
release, I have some issues with X.

1) I normally use XFCE.  The desktop and the apps in my .xinitrc partially load,
but the XFCE splashscreen doesn't leave the screen and the cpu apparently goes
very high (laptop fan running). Mouse still moves, but is displaying the hourglass.

2) Trying to go to a VT success, but trying to get back to X shows a corrupted
desktop display (top 1/8 or so of the screen is corrupted). No mouse.  X is at
98% cpu logging in from anther machine, and I'm unable to kill it as root, not
shutdwn the machine. Ctl-Alt-SysReq-B does work.

Last lines of Xorg.0.log are:

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
(II) RADEON(0): [RESUME] Attempting to re-init Radeon hardware.
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] Mode 0x0f000207 [AGP 0x1002/0xcab0; Card 0x1002/0x4336]
