Bartosz,

  I'd previously tried the Jaunty kernel to no effect. However, I
noticed that there were a bunch of updates for Xorg via apt which I've
upgraded to and then tried again. There was also a new minor kernel
release which I've also installed.

  NormalUser is my usual account. TempUser is an account I created for
testing in case this was happening due to a bum KDE config.

  So, here is what I found:

1. The two Karmic kernels do not allow me to log in and in out of 3 attempts hangs the machine. [both users]
2. Neither kernel allows console logins (via drop-down option) from the login window. [both users]
3. I can get to the recovery root shell. startx loads X and then hangs the system.
4. The Jaunty kernel also does not allow me to log in. [both users]
5. However, I could reach the console via the console login option.
6. startx using NormalUser failed.
7. startx using TempUser succeeded. I used the output from Xorg.0.log to create a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/. (see attached)
8. startx using NormalUser now succeeded. KDE apps are a little unstable though.
9. Toggling back to the console window shows that DRI was automatically disabled. (see attached)

I noticed on your linked wiki page that there's a binary driver from VIA
for 9.04. Will this work with 9.10? Are there plans to add this to the
restricted drivers list?

Will you be releasing a .deb with DRI disabled?

Thanks.
