I can confirm that patch works.
I have ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (integrated with motherboard), Kubuntu Hardy,
fglrx drivers from repository.
Open source driver works, but without 3D acceleration.
I think it is good idea to release an update. Many people have this
issue, more will come when Hardy will gain popularity.
I have no idea if it works with GDM, should not affect, because in
/etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh function GetServerAuthFile() is checking for
GDM files too. I cannot check it, I haven't access to ati card - only
for few days now.
/var/run/xauth/A$1* is used with KDM - that 100% sure. What if someone
is using XDM or just startx?
We could add another "if" section, for example:
# Check xdm
XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A$1*
XDM_AUTH_FILE=`ls -t $XDM_AUTH_MASK 2>/dev/null | head -n 1` # Choose the
newest file
if [ -n "$XDM_AUTH_FILE" ]; then
SERVER_AUTH_FILE=$XDM_AUTH_FILE
DISP_SEARCH_STRING="#ffff#"
return 0
fi
# Check xdm
KDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/run/xauth/A$1*
KDM_AUTH_FILE=`ls -t $KDM_AUTH_MASK 2>/dev/null | head -n 1` # Choose the
newest file
if [ -n "$KDM_AUTH_FILE" ]; then
SERVER_AUTH_FILE=$KDM_AUTH_FILE
DISP_SEARCH_STRING="#ffff#"
return 0
fi
that will 100% safe :)
