Comment 77 for bug 118605

Me, too!

I'm running an ATI HD 3450, with Xinerama enabled and apparently working properly.
HOWEVER, any attempt to log off, or to change users by either the user switcher or
little-green-man menu, result in black screens and hang. Hard reset is the only
way out: ctrl-alt-bksp doesn't fix it. After I file this, I'm going to see if restarting
gdm from an ssh, started BEFORE the logoff, helps at all.

I'm running Xinerama, and ATI accelerated drivers are marked as "in-use", but DISABLED,
by the System/Admin/Hardware Drivers page. I'm trying to run GNOME, across the board,
for all users, but am not sure how to force that.

The drivers were installed by envy-gt a few minutes ago. All Ubuntu-based updates
are installed, to the best of my knowledge.

The various patches described by Ilya, etc., appear to have already been made by
Ubuntu system upgrades. The Stefan patch appears to have already been made, too,
but I'm not sure about any GDM patches. I am running GDM...

This is getting on my nerves, because EVERY TIME I dare to hit the system upgrade
button, X goes off the air for days or more. I just replaced my NVIDIA card with an ATI
card, in the hope that it would be more house-broken, but instead, it just looks to
be also-broken.
