Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command (after the issue happens but before reboot), and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I installed the ATI catalyst drivers from rpmfusion and now the problem is gone.

Do I need to uninstall the catalyst drivers and revert to the old situation to be able to provide the requested information?

If you want us to do anything about this bug the most definitively yes. If you don't care (because fglrx works for you), then let me know and I'll close the bug.

6.13 is over more then a year old now. Isn't it time to move over to 6.14?
I see a lot of changes are being made since 6.13.
Why is current driver so much behind development?
