Bug Description
We have seen this a lot recently. 13.10 was fine with our video card since Oct 2013, but in the last couple of months we have seen X freezing. This is becoming more frequent.
I've seen this after a successful boot. The only programme I ran was Terminal and SSH. After leaving the computer for 20 mins I came back and the screen was fronzen.
Exact symptoms were: some horrizontal lines appeared across the screen. The mouse cursor still moved, however mouse clickes did nothing, and keyboard input (including ctrl-alt-del) did nothing.
Videon card is TURKS RADEON 6670/7670
I've gathered logs (attached) in the error state, and a reg dump in normal state.
Previous symptoms included the horrizontal shift getting messed up with the right/left boarder of the screen appearing 3/4 of the way across the monitor.
