Bug Description
From one of my sounders:
I installed Ubuntu last night. Unfortunately, when gdm attempted to invoke X,
the machine hard-froze. It worked with the vga and vesa X drivers, however. So I
guess the Radeon 9200 is verboten
And it was a hard crash - couldn't ping it from another machine. Tried it with
and without fbdev.
What's funny, though, is that Caps Lock and Num Lock worked initially, but
trying, blindly, to switch back to a virtual console, or ctrl+alt+backspace
froze even those.
He'll provide dmesg, lspci, and an strace of gdm starting this evening (GMT)

I will need all possible information. config files (working and not working), xfree86- dbg, lspci -n and so on.
possibly a gdb session using xserver-
