pureblood, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Basically, the radeon driver completely hangs my computer when the X server starts. The mouse seems working but the keyboard is completely irresponsive and the screen shows garbage as if the memory had not been initialized and still contains pieces from previous sessions. Connecting through ssh works though, so I can tell that kde 4.2 started fine and everything works ok. There is no sign of errors in the Xorg.0.log file. This happens as well with the installer cd for Jaunty. I am using a fresh installation of Jaunty, and according to lspci, my graphic card identifier is VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV635 PRO AGP [Radeon HD 3650] There are a lot of forums describing different problems, and it took me a long time and tries to find a workaround. What worked was to disable DRI adding the line Option "DRI" "off" to the Device section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I am still confused about it though. I could not find any meaningful log in dmesg or in Xorg.0.log and the system does not seem to notice something is wrong while being basically completely locked. This problem was not present with the Intrepid version of Ubuntu. I also needed desperately to get the radeon driver to work since both radeonhd and fglrx do not support my dual monitor setup. Bottom line, Jaunty does not work on my machine without very specific tweaking. I wish I could help more. Does this feel like an Xorg bug or a kernel bug?
