Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xgl
I have an ATI Radeon x300 with an LCD screen on VGA and a television on
S-Video.
When using the television, I change resolution from 1440x900 to
1024x768.
If, after switching back to 1440x900, I try to launch anything requiring
my password, the screen flickers and then X crashes to my logon prompt.
After logging back in everything works fine. It also seems to only occur
if Compiz-Fusion is turned on when I switch resolutions.
This is using Ubuntu 7.10 and the fglrx proprietary driver.
here's an excerpt from auth.log which I THINK is related:
Apr 21 13:28:10 guardian sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication
failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=andrew
** Affects: xserver-xgl (Ubuntu)
