Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

System:
Ubuntu x386 10.10
linux: 2.6.35-22-generic-pae

Graphic card: Asus Ati Radeon HD5750

<code>apt-cache policy xorg

When xorg:fglrx is activated, x server dosn't start. It freezes at tty1 command line during 5 minutes. And after x server boot and everything seems normal.

Shuting down and restarting is impossible. It freezes straight after ubuntu logo. The keyboard dosn't respond anymore. I got to force power off my computer :/

This problem didn't appear on Ubuntu 10.04.1
When I deactivate xorg:fglrx, everything went to normal. No more bug. So it looks like Maverick+ati drivers made the problem.

Hey Mathieu,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)
