Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
At about 1 in 5 times I get a hard freeze when booting Ubuntu Lucid: it happens exactly when the system tries to switch to the splash screen. I can see some funny red symbols at the top of the screen when it freezes, so it looks to me like it's an xorg problem. It's a hard freeze, so I need a power cycle to resume. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 9400 and I have an ATI Radeon card. At this point, I would be happy just to have a workaround, is there any way I can avoid these freezes?
