I've been googling for hours trying to figure out how to solve this problem that arised from the last upgrade:
I use lenny and the fglrx driver. With the last upgrade all fglrx packages were upgraded from version 8.4.1 to 8.5.1. As with every fglrx upgrade, I used m-a to rebuild the kernel modules. After that, "Switching user" from gnome (GDM) crashed the system to the point that not even sysrq would work. Other procedures, such as stopping gdm and starting it again had the same results (restarting it didn't). The worst part is that there's nothing in the logs, it just crashes the whole system silently. I tried the following stuff with no success: - Purging every fglrx package, reinstall and rebuild modules. - Disabling composite in xorg.conf. - Building xorg.conf from scratch (with fglrx-control) - Use the vesa driver: This actually solved the Switch User problem, but created a lot of others. My video card is an ATI Radeon HD2400 (which means that, until the radeonhd driver is ready, I have to stick with fglrx). Anyway, I just downgraded to 8.4.1 and am able to switch users again (with some limitations, but that's another story). If anyone has any clue on what the problem could be, please let me know.
