Bryce, Your version of the driver seems to work fine on my Radeon 3200. Since I had installed the driver I have observed no X hangs when switching user after some inactivity (the PC was online whole week). Thanks!

I confirm on Radeon 3200 with fglrx and compiz on Jaunty. Switching user after longer time of computer inactivity sometimes (30% reproducibility?) renders screen black. There is a slight difference because I can see the mouse cursor and I can switch to text console and kill -9 compiz.real process.

[Bug 98684] Re: Switching users (switch user) blank screen on fglrx (ATI driver)
Hi guys, I have almost the same problem. I say almost because as I read above this problem was fixed, but I still have a similap problem. And I think the problem is with GDM, and here is the explanation: If I install the amd fglrx drivers (the problem is the same with the latest 9.2 and prior drivers) and if I use GDM the screen goes black and freezes when I want to log off or switch user. Ok, but If I use the KDM with the same configuration I can log off without problem from gnome. Hints: if I install the ubuntu fglrx drivers there is no such problem (no freeze) , and with prior Ubuntu versions hardy, gutsy there is no problem too. I have this problem only in Intrepid Ibex. I tried all the suggested things on the forums and what I read, like modifying the authatieventsd.sh or adding AlwaysRestartServer=true line to gdm.conf but nothing works. My video card is ati radeon x1200 (on a laptop). I'm desperate because I would like to use GDM with gnome, but I can use only KDM if I want to log off from gnome -- Switching users (switch user) blank screen on fglrx (ATI driver) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, This is not precisely the reply that you are looking for (since its not on 8.10), but I would like to identify that remains an issue, at least for 8.04 (my install is a gnome desktop on top of kubuntu) with the xorg fglrx driver for an ati fire gl card.

Hi lemsx1, Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu?

Well i have the same problem with my nvidia card (GeForce4 MX440) using restricted drivers and default in gutsy compiz-fusion. When I want to switch user, the screen goes to black and nothing happend. It seems that every thing is working in background - mpd is playing music. The only choice is to press ie. Ctrl+F1 (notice that screen is black) and press ctrl+alt+del to restart machine gently. Log's doesnt show anything interesting. Is there any solution for nvidia users?

By any chance are people still affected by this on Gutsy running xserver-xgl?
