I wont call it broken. It's more like a car not having a trailer hitch. If you really need it, you can have it by either buy a new car (nvidia) or add one to your car (you cannot do this with a ferrari i.e. you'll lose 3D with high-end-cards using xorgs radeon or radeonhd driver).

[Bug 290704] Re: [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user
As far as I understand, fast-user-switch uses startx/xinit in the background to start a new X session on another display ? Or is this wrong and my comment irrelevant ? If I'm on the right track it means the problem is not only with fast- user-switching, but with the underlying command xinit ? If this is a fglrx problem, other distro's should experience the same thing. Searching in the fedora forums, all I could find was a small thread: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1148421 But they are talking about compiz being the problem. This is not related, because we have the problem too with compiz disabled ? -- [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290704] Re: [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user
Funny analogy. I feel it's more like having a trailer hitch (the command is available), but using it breaks your car (computer freezes). If there is really no fix (in the near future), maybe the fast-user- switch should be disabled when fglrx is enabled ? -- [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 290704] Re: [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user
- me too - (with an Ati Radeon HD 2400 pro) I'm affected by this Problem since last Summers Intrepid Update. (switched from x86 to AMD64) First with Catalyst 8.10 prerelease then Catalyst 8.10 stable. I tested 8.12 (stable), 9.1 beta and 9.2 ces09-preview. To no avail (except: 9.2 has additional problems, but its not even beta so its ok) Like Anakin Starkiller wrote, presumably this won't get fixed in the near future :-( (but using xvideo output with compiz is fine now :-) (Nevertheless I would prefere a working second X server)) I even switched from a 2-head configuration to one single Monitor. No luck. (btw: I'm using this feature not only to switch users. Very often I just start a game at another X Server to be able to switch between the full screen game and the rest of my desktop without closing the game. Thats also impossible for now. Like abacher wrote, it's not even possible to start a second X screen from a text tty. (btw gaming... thats the reason I prefere fglrx for now...)) -- [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290704] Re: [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user
I am using an AMD64, dual-head, with fglrx. It dies on switch users, of course. From what hede says, dual-head is not the problem, and it just seems to be fglrx itself. [I do not understand the implications of abatcher's xinit xterm -- :1 vt8 comment in this regard. Perhaps we can convince the MyLightWorksFine people at AMD that there are virtues to having multiple users signed on at once. It doesn't look like we'll get it fixed, otherwise. 1. I use multiple users for security reasons - I have development accounts that have access to source code, and I try to keep those accounts distinct from my generic email/web account, etc. Part of this has to do with keeping my data out of client areas, and vice versa. It's not security in the secrecy sense, but in the safety of different accounts when my fumblefingers err, just as we avoid running as root. 2. Hede uses multiple users to get full-screen access and access to normal desktop without logging in/out. Very convenient. I would appreciate it if the AMD people responsible for fglrx can give us some statement as to why these are not virtuous activities. If they cannot do so, then can they please give us some estimate of a repair date for their broken software? -- [fglrx][Intrepid] Computer freeze when switching user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please ignore my last two comments. I realized that radeonhd was not enabled after all. After enabling the 'radeonhd' driver, the problem went away. So the problem is truly with the fglrx driver.

I can confirm this bug in a fully updated Ubuntu 8.04 system. I am running 64-bit Intel Q6600 and a Radeon HD4670. It happens on both the latest fglrx 8.12 driver and the radeonhd driver.

This problem comes from FLGRX proprietary driver from AMD/ATI. Please complain to them about this issue... There's no such thing with opensource driver radeonhd (though there are other issues ...) According to this post : http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13671highlight=switch+user [...] However, this issue has been mentioned repeatedly over the last 6 months (at least), and the ATI devs response was along the lines of switch user? who uses that?, so don't hold your breath waiting for a fix because they don't really seem to care.

I disabled the third-party and proprietary hardware drivers (System/Administration/Hardware Drivers), but the system still crashes on.
