Same issue here (in Gnome) on a Gateway M3708 laptop. Laptop has an "ATI Radeon Xpress 200M " video card.
In Gnome, going to System->Logout with result in a blank screen and a system hard lock. However, this ONLY happens with the proprietary ATI drivers. Reverting to the xorg provided drivers fixes the problem. -- Cannot shutdown computer with Kubuntu Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
