Public bug reported:
First I've tested manual installation (by letting the Catalyst installer
create deb-packages), then I tried the packages from
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates .
Both variations had the same problem: After enabling KDE desktop effects
(KDE 4.5) the PC freezes. Changing to terminals or something else isn't
possible any more, Alt+Print+R/E/I/S/U/B was the only solution. There
are no errors in Xorg logs. Re-creating the configration with aticonfig
and amdcccle didn't solve this.
Besides: Starting glxgears openes a glxgears windows with the gears
standing still. The window neither can be closed by pressing CTRL+C on
the terminal nor by calling "killall -9 glxgears". Pressing the "X" in
the windows title bar closes the window but the terminal doesn'tt return
to prompt and "ps" shows glxgears as still running. Again no errors in
Xorg.0.log.
The desktop effects (and glxgears) worked using the driver from July.
Some system information:
- Kubuntu Lucid 10.4.1 x64, all recent updates installed
- KDE 4.5 installed
- X.org 1.7.6
- Installation and creation of the driver showed no errors
