Exactly the same problem on ATI FirgGL R520GL (V7200). The problem is triggered by opening an xterm window in a plain old Gnome session.
I've tried a few different version of flgrx dirvers non of them worked. The driver downloaded from the ATI web site doesn't lock-up, but the screen goes an white/gray and nothing else is possible. Killing the X-server at this point with Atl-Ctrl-Backspaced flashed the background and the then GDM comes up. Right now, using radeonhd to get around this issue, but there are some artifacts on the display that are driving me nuts. All in all, the system is completely unusable under Gnome. -- [fglrx] fglrx freezes randomly : Soft lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
