The newest version of K/Ubuntu seems to be running the v6.13 of the ati display driver under xorg 7.5.
I've observed the following two behaviors (never a problem on older versions of K/Ubuntu) and my initial searches suggest that both result from this version of the driver. Can anyone confirm? Are there any fixes? 1. Whenever I start an X session or switch from one virtual terminal to another on a machine with an ATI M7500 card, the screen is automatically dimmed to about 50% brightness (roughly the same as the window manager sets in powersaving mode). I can increase the brightness using keyboard controls, but the window manager settings indicate that the screen is at maximum brightness. The behavior occurs with both KDE and LXDE 2. If I have composting enabled in KDE and try to start a second X session on a different virtual terminal, the 2nd iteration of X hangs and I haven't yet found any error logs that are helpful. Disabling composting fixes this.
