Public bug reported: Recently there was an upload of fglrx-installer that enabled execstack (2:8.660-0ubuntu3). After this upgrade, X was not usable. It was way too slow.
Downgrading to 2:8.660-0ubuntu2 makes the system usable again. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Oct 10 05:09:00 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 MachineType: Dell Inc.
