Patrick Schueller, 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.

There is no adequate response to the Ctrl-Alt-F1 (...F6) keys, i.e. the KDE desktop stays on the screen, the mouse cursor disappears, but nothing further happens. The /sbin/getty processes are running for tty1 to tty6. sudo chvt [1-6] has the same effect. Initially, on Ctrl-Alt-F8 the mouse cursor used to reappear (i.e. switching back to the GUI worked). After the latest updates, trying to switch to a virtual terminal seems to freeze the GUI and, since there is no accessible terminal and a frozen GUI, requires a reboot. I suspect that the problem has something to do with the framebuffer. System information: OS: Ubuntu lucid (dev) · Kernel: 2.6.32-16-generic · KDE: 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1) CPU: AMD Turion(tm) Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82 · RAM: 1367392kB/3799764kB VGA: ATI RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200] / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Installed graphics driver: automatically with OS installation, no modification. Loaded module is radeon. latest updates as of March 17, 21:20 UTC using default sources.list(.d/*) from 10.04 alpha3 What I already did: 1. create a minimal xorg.conf and place Option "DontVTSwitch" "false" in it (does not help) 2. uninstall plymouth (does not help) 3. place radeon.modeset=0 in kernel grub line (and remove quiet splash). This makes the boot messages appear and restores the normal function of the virtual terminals. This is a workaround, but: slow graphics, no acceleration, no effects. The problem does not depend on the desktop/window manager, it appears in KDE/KWin and whatever Gnome uses (compiz or metacity) alike. As a side note, I am using two screens (laptop LVDS and external VGA-0/VGA-1) with xrandr.
