I also encounter this bug, in fact, it exists at both 8.04 and 9.10 at least. The kernel may hang up randomly forever (I can not switch the caplock/Numlock light, and Ctrl-Alt-Delete has not effect at all), I tried to use vesa driver, ubuntu packaged fglrx driver, and downloaded driver from ATI site,all these are "buggy", so I think that this problem may not be exist in disaplay driver.
In Ubuntu 8.04/9.04, if I entered system by recover mode, then run "telinit 5", then X11 can work well at most time. but this hack does not work in Ubuntu 9.10 :( The attachment contains /var/log/messages, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the result of "lspci -vvv" The attached /etc/X11/xorg.conf is generated by the utility in ati- driver-installer-9-10-x86.x86_64.run, in this way: aticonfig --initial -f That is all! thanks! ** Attachment added: "report.zip" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34768046/report.zip ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- Screen randomly turns black with Ati Xpress 1100 graphics card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
