&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Information about the problem of system lockups with the ATI driver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem description==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes after starting X windows the system locks up hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Affected Models==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*ThinkPad {{T42}}&lt;br /&gt;
*other ThinkPads with a FireGL chipset and possibly other ATI chipsets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Affected Operating Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Xorg 6.9.x &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Status==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The problem has been fixed in 7.0.  However, some Linux distributions still release 6.9.x as their current version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solutions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The easiest solution is to switch to the &amp;quot;vesa&amp;quot; driver in xorg.conf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can also downgrade to 6.9.x or upgrade to 7.0.  Debian users can get 6.9.x packages from [http://snapshot.debian.net].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
