Hi there I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome and I have the same problem! I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8600 1.7GHz with an ATi Radeon 9600 Turbo Pro graphic card. Everything just works fine and I get fine result with the glxgears and fglrxinfo. I haven't setup anything only enabled the 3D and installed Compiz fusion.
When I logout or switch user it's going in black screen and can't do anything but push the power button :( It's running fglrx in the xorg.conf. I have tryed to change the fglrx to ati and then it works, but then the 3D isn't working. Some say it's because of the atieventsd.sh script has some wrong file destinations and then locks up. But I'm a newbie here, so don't know anything about it. I have tryed all this without any succes: System freezes after logout with GDM or KDM If you use GDM modify File: /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf for me) AlwaysRestartServer=true If you use KDM add to the [X-:*-Core] section the following File: /usr/kde/3.x/share/config/kdm/kdmrc TerminateServer=true Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use "ati" instead of "fglrx"? fixed the problem for me, but then compiz doesn't work. If you experience hangs when logging out (of X) it is probably due to the /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh script looking for X authorisation files in the wrong place when it starts up. You can kill the hanging authatieventsd.sh processes from a console tty to allow the shutdown of the X server. This can be fixed permanently with: sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/xdm/authdir sudo ln -s /var/run/xauth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles If that doesn't work then you can disable atieventsd with this command: sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f atieventsd remove I have also tryed all of this described here: http://www.kalaj.org/blog/2008/05/23...with-ati-card/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/38915 http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10090 Does anyone else have a solution for the problem? I don´t know if I run the free og restricted ati driver...it's the one from Ubuntu 8.04 when I installed it. Can I do something to help? Because it's pretty ignoring.
