Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I created a report through "ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-ati" I hope it is reference here. First of all I am a complete new user, apologies if this is the wrong place to report this problem. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 last Saturday (Dual boot) and ever since this problem occurs. After a good few hours of PC being on, downloading torrents, the screen crashes [1st occasion with an Alt+Tab] and [2nd occasion whilst playing an AVI through VLC]. Although the screen hangs I can still move the mouse pointer but nothing can be done; also the keyboard seems to crash as trying Cortl+ALT+Del does not work. Pressing the Nun Lock or Caps Lock key make no difference/lights don't change. All dead, except for the mouse. The actual CPU and HDD continue to work as the torrents have progress whilst the screen is "dead". I did try the sequence of commands from: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Radeon_9200/9250_(RV280)_and_DVI but was unable to make the changes requested, namely remove the comments. I think this page is now out of date. If additional information is required, please request it in simple terms for new users. Thank you for your help in advance.
