Sorry about that. I guess you'll need to turn on GGI_DEBUG=255,
do whatever you need to do to get debugging output from Berlin, and run it
on the console. Make sure to redirect the output to a file, including
STDERR. Once it has frozen, use the magic SysRq key alt-prtscrn-r to turn
off RAW mode so you can once again switch VCs. Switch to another VC,
login and kill the berlin process(es), and send us the compressed logs.

What is your /dev/mouse linked to? Does GPM work?

The kgicon VGA driver has problems, and I don't know if the ATI
driver ever worked. I think there is a kernel ATI driver (aty128fb) which
you can use and which works better than the kgicon driver.
