I actually had two init scripts for atieventsd... after looking into it, I realized that I had not purged the old ATI package, so now I did: % dpkg -s fglrx-driver | awk '/ obsolete/ {print $1}' | xargs sudo rm And after the next reboot, all is well! Thanks for mentioning the init script, I never would have guessed this :) Since it appears that my original problem is fixed upstream, and you correct the new upstream behaviour in the second matter, I'll close the bug report. Thanks for your patience. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
