Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
G'day,
I get a complete console lock-up when gdm starts with the default
xorg.conf under amd64 Hardy Herron with version 1:6.8.0-1 of xserver-
xorg-video-ati. The keyboard is unresponsive, including Caps Lock. I am
unable to change to a text terminal. The normal xfix behaviour does not
kick in, and cannot be initiated. I have a work-around in place to put a
Driver "vesa" option under Device in my xorg.conf. To insert this
workaround, I performed a hard shut-down of the machine and booted to
single user mode. I then modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I have rebuilt most of the system (including motherboard) without
replacing the video card around the time of the Hardy Herron release.
Before the rebuild and under 32-bit gutsy the card appeared to function
correctly. After the rebuild and under 64-bit hardy I get nowhere. My
symptoms appear similar to those of Bug 67487. From a remote machine I
have managed to log in and observe Xorg sitting at 100% load on one of
my cores (I didn't think to check what the Xorg process was doing
exactly), and the remote access is slow during the console lockup. I
have tried adding Option "DefaultConnectorTable" "on", hoping this was a
dupe of Bug 157408, but with no success.
