Public bug reported:
When pressing ctrl+alt+F1-6 (at or after the graphical Ubuntu login) my
monitor goes into standby, as if it is receiving no signal.
At the stage the computer has not froze, e.g. caps lock button still
toggles the keyboard light.
Next, when I press ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to gnome/xserver the system
crashes and a cold reset is needed.
Also, I could just press ctrl+alt+backspace from within gnome to
reproduce this crash.
This problem does not occur with the xorg 'ati' driver, but with the 'fglrx'
driver.
To clarify, with the standard 'ati' driver I can switch between terminals (and
see them) using ctrl+alt+F1-6 and back to gnome with ctrl+alt+F7, and also
restart the xserver with ctrl+alt+backspace.
Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty - all latest software updates (using update manager)
ATI Radeon X800
X Driver: fglrx
Monitor: Dell 2407WFP
Mainboard: Asus A8v Deluxe
Grub boot line: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-14-generic
root=UUID=6b1f1a14-6185-4be1-a374-c149b2dd917c ro quiet
Note: When booting with parameter vga=0x317 (i.e. vga=791) there is
approximately a 1 minute period where the monitor is in standby between
the end of booting Ubuntu (i.e. when the login screen would usually
appear) and the Ubuntu login screen actually appearing (and playing the
sound).
Sorry if I have misplaced this report, I'm relatively new to Linux, so please
let me know if there is anything I can provide you with (logs etc.) to help
with this problem.
I would settle with the standard ati driver provided but it is essential
that I have TV-out support (which I do when I use fglrx - but all of
these other problems come with it).
