David, I'm currently running version 9.04 of Ubuntu. The issue only occurs sometimes. The symptoms vary. Usually the screen is cleared of all useful information. The last occurrence was different from all previous. The browser windows were duplicated, but displaced and overlaying the original windows, but clicking on buttons had no effect. I couldn't reboot using the mouse, but I could change workspace from one to another.
I'm getting lazy in my retirement. I should remove the failing hard drive, but like you, I don't think that it's causing the video problem. I haven't tried disabling the ATI driver. How do I do that? What are the ramifications of doing it? What do I lose?
