Bug description:
This bug report started as a comment in the thread associated with bug
38915 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/38915), but as suggested
by Sitsofe Wheeler I'm opening a new bug report here.
Problem: 7 out of 10 times my PC freezes when I logout from my Ubuntu
session. I get a black screen and my LCD says that there is no video
input. Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard salutes don't work,
and remote ssh sessions into my machine die; the only way out is a
hard reset of my PC. As far as I can say nothing is logged in either
the syslog or the X log files.
Environment:
* Ubuntu 8.04 running on an ASUS P5E-VM mother board with the Intel G35
(3500) chipset and 2 GB of RAM.
* My home directory is not local but NFS-mounted from another machine
running Ubuntu server 8.04.
* My xorg.conf file is the barebones one created by running "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"; it
has no mention of a specific driver or monitor details; I guess these
days everything X-related is found
dynamically as X takes over.
* My PC was upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy. While on Gutsy, my video chipset
was not well supported, I
couldn't enable desktop effects for example, but I never experienced
these freezes.
Things that I have done include:
1. Booted Hardy with the Feisty kernel. No changes.
2. Created a brand new user with a local home directory (not NFS-mounted) and
tried login in and out. No changes.
3. Tried turning off desktop effects. No changes
4. Modified my xorg.conf file to force X to use the VESA driver ... success,
no more freezes after logout.
Of course with this last option I get a sub-optimal desktop but this
makes me conclude that the problem is X-related. My first call would
be to blame the new Intel driver in xorg.
