Public bug reported:

Hello, first my config

IBM Pentium III Coppermine 1Gh
512Mo Ram (SDRAM PC133)
Asus AH3450 (ATI Radeon) 256Mo
80Gig Hard Drive

Dual-Boot Windows XP Pro - Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5

Kubuntu 9,10 Alpha 5 with Kernel 2.6.31-10
Compiz-Fusion is installed and working without bugs.

The bug, each time i boot, kubuntu hangs after this line "Checking
Battery State" and after 10 secs my computer stops to respond. This bug
accures no matter if i have fglrx installed or not. (I tried with and
without the driver and it gave me the same results) First i was thinking
maybe xorg.conf had an error so i entered this command in recovery mode
"cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and from all the researches i made this file is
normal. But for me, the only way to avoid the bug was to do this :

In recovery mode - rootnet

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
aticonfig --initial -f  <-----i had to add this one after i installed fglrx from Hardware Drivers
reboot now

after reboot, averything return to normal but after another reboot. i
have to start over again and delete xorg.conf and configure fglrx to be
sure it's in xorg.conf. I've tried with only Kwin active(without any
desktop effects and Compiz disabled) and i got the same bug. As i said,
the only way i have to avoid this bug is to delete the present xorg.conf
file and to create a new one.

I'm not sure what's going on because if it was fglrx causing this, the
bug would not had occure when the driver is not installed. And it's
unlikely a Compiz bug because the first time this bug came up Compiz
wasn't installed and fglrx wasn't installed eather. This bug occured
after i upgraded Kubuntu 9.04 to Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5 with kernel
2.6.31-9 and after i reboot, i had to do a kernel update to 2.6.31-10.
After i reboot again after the kernel update, the bug showed up.

Since i haven't find any bug resemling mine i report it here. I think
it's a bug with xorg and the new kernel but i'm not an expert about
linux so i need help for this one.

Thank you for your time.
