X server stops loading with a black screen. It's not possible to switch to text
console. Here are two traces of this situation with SysReq-T.

This is an X radeon driver issue that was fixed in the xf86-video-ati releases
6.5.8 (for X.Org 7.0) and 6.6.0 (for X.Org 7.1).
Comment 3 Helmut 2006-08-03 01:55:31 UTC
