Comment 39 for bug 355495

Hi Leo. Thanks for helping me... Let me tell my whole story,lol... I was using jaunty and yesterday trying to make my resolution output to 1360x768 so i could better use my lcd tv.

Then, for other reasons, I enabled proposal updates and did an update... So when I restarted gdm it crashed. At that time I had not read the threads explaining the bug, so i thought it had to do with missconfiguring xorg... After restoring previous config I saw the problem was not my 1360 modlines.

I them did a upgrade to karmic, thinking this would solve my problem with the new kernel version. It did not... Them, through lynx I saw the reports on this bug and purged fglxr. So i could access my desktop again.

Trying to reinstall the drivers through apt repeated the crash. Today I entered in ADM website, downloaded and installed Catalyst 9.6, but I did not choose the build package option (I wonder if it makes any difference), instead the direct install again the bug returned...

 So I found this thread and tried what you suggested (removed amdpcsdb, and the three aticonfig lines). Then I crashed with the gray box added bellow the two ghost ubuntu logos...

So here I am now using ati free driver.

Is just me now? or anyone else with this bug? Should I file a bug in karmic package?
