Description 5FBCDB43 2010-12-08 21:33:13 UTC

Quite often when the system is very stressed (high CPU usage, filled RAM, swap/hdd in use; very slow response), the screen goes blank after doing something that reqiures a redraw (moving a window, closing a window, scrolling, changing a tab, etc.).

Kernel Radeon DRM w/modesetting enabled, R300.

This is a known regression being tracked upstream.  We'll watch the upstream bug and backport any fix which becomes available.
