I've experienced several apparently random Xorg crashes which leave my system with apparently no graphics though still running ( I can ssh in ) after upgrading xorg and xf86-vdieo-ati. I don't experience the same crashes on Debian so I'm betting it's not hardware failure.
Upon crashing, the monitor will display 5 or 6 pixels sheared across the screen with my cursor still rendered properly but everything else inaccessible. If I C-A-Backspace then the Xorg process terminates but my monitor no longer detects any video output. I restart remotely and the system is fine for another few hours.
I think the issue is probably with the radeon driver. Does anybody have any insight on what to be causing this or any options I could enable to make it more stable?
Here is the Xorg.0.log error message:
[ 644.225] (II) RADEON(0): RADEONRestoreMemMapRegisters() :

You probably ruled that out already, but with such random errors it is always worth to consider, that they may be due to temperature issues or defective RAM.
