I'm delighted to report that my instance of this bug was fixed by the latest released of the Catalyst drivers (10.7). I've tested this along with kernel 2.6.32-24 and Xserver 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.3 (all 32 bit). Compiz and GL in general work fine. Many thanks to the fglrx team for the fix Manuel --

Thanks for the hint Felix, as you suggested I downloaded the latest Catalyst, installed the generated packages (rel 8.741 in my case) and run aticonfig. Unfortunately it failed with the same behaviour as before. Is there any way to put the driver in any sort of 'verbose mode' so I can gather more

I noticed you're using an nVidia MCP51 chipset. I've seen other reports of our driver hanging systems with that chipset. -- fglrx fails to identify attached monitor, displays blank screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Indeed, I'm using a socket AM2 motherboard equipping the nForce 430 chipset (aka MCP51); to be more precise it is an Asus model A8MN-BR, marketed as Hematite-GL8E by HP. I presume Chris from post #13 has the same model. I'll check for other reports with this particular gpu/chipset combo to see

After some digging, I've found ticket filed for this same issue in ATI's bugzilla: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1794 what I gathered from other thread references in the ticket is that the issues with MCP51 follow a regression in Catalyst 9.9 ** Bug watch added: ATi Linux Platform Bugs

Have you tried it with the latest Catalyst driver (Catalyst 10.6, driver release 8.743)? To update using generated Ubuntu packages, download Catalyst into an empty directory and run ati-driver-installer...run --buildpkg dpkg --install *.deb aticonfig --initial -f and reboot. --

Just to report that the behaviour experienced after updating flgrx to the latest version (2:8.723.0ubuntu4) is identical (brief flash in Plymouth, then Xorg hangs with 100% CPU load on boot). The outputs for all logs all the same (nothing meaningful, AFAIU). I reiterate my offer to the developers

Hi, I have what looks to be exactly the same problem with 10.04 and an Saphire 5450 (512 DD3 model) as Manuel. The card is working fine under Windoze. Maybe just a coincidence but I also have an HP Pavilion with a Hermatite motherboard. May not be so surprising as I think many opt to put these

looking at the XorgLog it looks similar to the one in the bug I raised for my card https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/566239. I am having this issue since catalyst 9.9 so it looks like some change was made since 9.9 which causes the error however I reported this to

Thanks Gary, I'm afraid my problem doesn't have to do with multiple monitors as I only have 1 attached. I will try to get hold of a second one to test whether this is due to the monitor not being supported, but from the way it hangs X I doubt so (otherwise it should bail out with no screens found

The log file just stops half way through the driver initialization. There's no backtrace. There are two possibilities: 1. the Xserver is still spinning at 100% CPU load in the background 2. the system crashed hard and didn't have a chance to write the complete log file to the disk You could try
