Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I have been waiting for karmic to see if it would fix a bug that I have
with suspending the computer. It did in fact, but now has this bug. When
I am logged in gnome and log out or switch user (and occationally when I
change between a vtty and X) I get a complete system freeze with a black
screen. I have read some similar bug reports, but it seems happens with
both the ATI driver and FGLRX from ATI. I do NOT have this problem with
the ATI driver, but sadly do with FGLRX.

When it hangs, I can't CTRL-ALT-BKSP, CTRL-ALT-DEL, nor, ALT-
SYSRQ-R-E-I-S-S-S-U-B either, so it seems to completely crash the
kernal, hence setting up for a remote log-in backtrace would likely be
futile.

I have an Intel Core 2 Due P7350 and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 card
on a Toshiba laptop running Karmic 64 bit.

Please let me know if any other info is needed. I tried apport, but
couldn't get it running on karmic.

The attached includes lspci, Xorg logs, dmesg, xrandr --verbose, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Nathan
