Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
This has been happening in this system ever since the drm changes landed in the lucid kernel. it seems to be related to new_pll . Initially the problem with the guest session would occur if i start it immediately itself. But when i used new_pll=0 , it just causes the problem to occur hours later. Problem also exists with the latest maverick kernel from leann's ppa ~$ uname -a Linux Aspire-5670 2.6.35-23-generic #34~pre201009220900-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 22 23:22:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Which is supposed to have a solution for this problem : <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0d9958b18e10d7426d94cc3dd024920a40db3ee2> Because of this problem i had been using the mainline kernel for a very long time[.33, .34 and .35], but i have never had this problem with the mainline kernels. Only with the Ubuntu stock kernel i get this issue.
