Bug Description

alt+print screen key + k
should kill x.org
instead, on my precise PC with catalyst drivers installed, it appears to crash the video card, so I get a frozen screen and nothing else.

to reproduce this issue, install catalyst drivers, type alt+print screen +k (all 3)

Alberto uploaded a new fglrx 8.960 to precise today. We don't have a changelog from ATI on this so don't know exactly what bugs got fixed. Would you mind updating to this driver and re-testing for this bug, to see if it's fixed now?

On the off chance that this bug got fixed but other problems crop up, close this report and file new bug reports via 'ubuntu-bug fglrx-installer', so we can track them against the new version.

alt-prntscrn+k still crashes the pc.
Tested after Updated my pc and the fglrx-installer did install a new driver (apparently) of course I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for the help bryce.
