Hi Ilja,

your patched solved the problem of the logout freeze for me. I had to reboot first though, perhaps restarting the X server would have been sufficient as well. Manually killing authatieventsd before logging out did not work for me, however.

I'm running a current Kubuntu Hardy (with xorg-driver-fglrx 7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.11-12.31) on a notebook with an RV350 chip (Mobility Radeon 9600 M10).

The only thing I have found so far that does not work is starting a second X server session (K-menu->Switch User->Start New Session). It causes the system to freeze with a black screen. In this case, the Num Lock LED is not responsive and I can't SSH to the system. The system still responds to pings however. This issue only occurs with fglrx, after switching to the open source driver all is fine. Should I file a new bug for this, or does this still fit this bug?
