** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati Hardy crashes about 50% of the time at a certain point in the boot process. After the splash screen, the screen goes blank and the system just freezes. There is no mouse cursor and I can't get a console to come up. I usually have to hit reset to start over. The other 50% of the time Hardy gets passed this point and works beautifully. All the features in Compiz-Fusion work and it seems to run with 3D acceleration enabled. I spent a lot of time fooling around with BIOS settings and changing Xorg.conf before I realized the crashes were random. Nothing I changed made it crash less often. This might be a hardware problem because it seems to crash more often when the system is cold. On the other hand, MS Windows starts without any problems. I have been saving good and bad Xorg.0.log files. It always crashes on the same line "(II) RADEON(0): Rage Theatre setting standard 0x0000". Motherboard: ASUS A8V-Deluxe Video Card: ATI 9600XT Monitor: NEC LCD Multisync 1810 Hardy 8.04 is installed from the alternate disk. I am currently running the non-proprietary drivers but (before I did a second clean install) I ran the proprietary drivers with pretty much the same behavior. It did run a little faster though. - Previously I had lots of problems with bad screen settings and boot - problems using Gutsy and Hardy Beta on this system.

Now it is - actually a pleasure to use even with the random boot failures. + Previously I had lots of problems with bad screen settings and boot problems using Gutsy and Hardy Beta on this system.
