I can say the bug is still alive, at least with my X1300 on Ubuntu/8.10 It is interesting that the Xlog file does not show any error at all. But the X hangs just before giving the login gdm window.
I tried all the suggestions posted here (included the "--acpi- services=off") without success. At the moment, the only way I found to make the X work is to uninstall fglrx and choose the ati driver. It is even more interesting that this bug appears to me only recently, after one of the upgrades. I mean that when I installed Ubuntu/8.10 fglrs worked great. I could use 9.2 ati-driver version. But at some point, for unknown reasons, this hang-behavior started appearing, and now I am stuck. It is depressing not to use the card at its best. Only solution for now for me at the moment is: either to wait for at/ubuntu fix or to reinstall Ubuntu/8.04. The post that this happens also in Suse makes me feel it is not just an Ubuntu problem. -- fglrx versions newer than 8.543 cause system hang and panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
