People having problems with frozen fullscreen apps might be interested in this:

It doesn't address the problem of frozen X servers, but it allows easy
starting of apps in a second X server. :)

As a temporary solution, I suggest forcing 3d windows to be redirected
and using false fullscreen (ie. a window with decorations removed).

Binary package hint: xorg
Full screen apps freezing is a common problem in both Windows and Ubuntu
(irrespective of hardware or version, I do Ubuntu installs for my
friends and always run in to this). (The most recent incarnation of this

Well, being treated like an idiot does bring out the bad in us, doesn't
it? And everybody's still wondering why you changed the bug to fglrx in
the first place, so the personal comment was at least partially
justified.
In any case, thanks for changing the bug back to the proper package. I

I too have ran into fullscreen applications where it would be convenient
if the ctrl+return alt+tab or ctr+shift+esc or ctr+alt+backspace either

The referenced issue is *not* a graphics problem, it is a problem with

providing a reasonable workaround
For reference, the bug I referenced was ubuntu bug #386538, which,

Interesting. From his launchpad wiki page, one of Mr. Harrington's job
achievements for past Ubuntu versions was New bugs in xorg, xorg-server,
-intel, -ati, and -nv were reduced to 0.
I'm not sure the right way of reducing bugs is to randomly re-assign them to
other, vaguely related packages.

Regarding the freeze example I mentioned, I now found out why Battle for
Wesnoth svn is freezing, and it doesn't have anything to do with the
graphics card. The game doesn't even use 3D acceleration. So what the

I think Control-Alt-Delete should minimize every application and bring up de
