Why not just try then if something like that happens, a fedora rawhide? its a distro where many developers from the free drivers work as major distro or package directly for it. or use ubuntu if needed and compile it yourself.

What made the HD5750 stop displaying?
I have one in one of my machines, running Mesa versions from when Evergreen was first made to work through what came out in the Xorg-edgers PPA when Raring was released it didn't once lose the display. What was running when this happened? Maybe I need to blacklist that machine from being upgraded to my current OS image with current Mesa?
That card is curiously slow, never getting over 350 fps in Critter (2d game in OpenGL) while it's full-spech HD5570 cousin will do double that. Wonder if a firmware bug is the culprit here?
