I had a ATI Radeon 9600XT, but was forced to switch back to my old + GeForce 2 because the Radeon was causing my desktop to crash since 6.10. + Currently I have 7.04 with all updates. The closest bug I found on Launchpad is #43961 https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/43961. My problem: if I try and restart from the desktop, I get a black screen, my monitor (Cornea CT1701) goes into standby and nothing happens. I do believe that the computer logs out, but I cannot confirm because I cannot see anything. If I logout first and restart from the login, it works. I can halt my computer from the desktop. I am talking about using the GUI and not commands. Also sometimes when the computer starts up, I can see the splash all fine, but the monitor goes into standby when the GDM starts up. I can login and logout and restart the Xserver which brings the monitor back - online, however restarting the Xserver ([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace]) does - not work. I first have to login. + online, however trying to restarting the Xserver + ([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace]) first does not work. What really bugs me is that I cannot change to the command line ([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F...]). At no point. The screen monitor switches to standby and I cannot restart the computer nor the Xserver. Only holding the power button. I am using the proprietary driver, but will soon try without because I do not play games nor do I need any 3D acceleration. Thanks for the help. If you need dmesg or I will post it. EDIT: I forgot to add that I had 1024 MB RAM, but one was corrupt and I had to take it out. I will check later if it really was or just my Radeon at the point.
