Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
After my recent upgrade to Gutsy X stopped working. Boot works fine until KDM
(where X is started) and there the computer hangs completely. No
ctrl-alt-backspace, no ctrl-alt-f1 or anything. Reboot is the only option.
The computer is usable if I switch to VESA but that's not really an option.
My expectations would be that KDM would show up and let me login, but
instead I get a black screen and a frozen computer.
I've tried several different ways to fix this, trying an old xorg.conf
and removing xorg.conf completely, no effect. Also the dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg didn't work either.
The attached xorg.conf will not only freeze the computer or show a black
screen, but will actually put the monitor (flatscreen) into some kind of
"sleep"-mode indicated by a flashing power-LED.
I will attach xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log below as well as an lspci in case that's
helpful.
The card in question is a Radeon and I think I'm using the open-source driver,
or that I was anyway.
