I too have an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro and suffer this problem both on
Linux Mint 5 (Hardy-based) and 7 (Jaunty-based). This bug is an absolute
killer for me because the rest of my family uses my computer too, and
trying to tell them not to use switch user when my account is locked
because it will break the system is most likely a nonstarter! Using an
open-source driver does fix the problem, but removes 3D support which is
marginally more important to me then switch-user support. But why are we
forced to choose? Is it too much to ask for ATI to give us drivers that
let us use ALL the functions of our operating systems? Come on, sort out
fglrx! This should definitely be a high-priority bug, as it's ruinous
for anyone who uses switch-user, and unfortunately the open source
equivalent doesn't yet utilise the full potential of the card (though I
live in hope).
