I had the same problem on my up to date Kubuntu 8.04 Beta. The problem is that /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh can't locate a file. It's got the wrong path.
In /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh change this line: XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A$1* to: XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/run/xauth/A$1* This solved the black screen hanging on logoff for me. I'm not quite sure what to change if you're using Gnome, but I suspect it's this line: GDM_AUTH_FILE=/var/lib/gdm/$1.Xauth -- [fglrx] freezes upon Logout or Switch user [patch] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118605 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
