| Luxor (ranju-mathew) wrote Power-off and power-on of monitors in multiheaded fglrx xorg configuration causes X to become unresponsive/freeze in Jaunty | #0 |
Binary package hint: xorg
I am using Ubuntu 9.04_amd64 with the latest packages. I've installed Catalyst released for 9.4 (the problem also existed wth 9.3), and am attaching my xorg.conf file. I have 3 monitors and 2 rv770 (radeon hd4870) cards, and use them as 3 independent screens/desktops. I can consistently recreate this problem both with and without 3d desktop effects. If I have the wrong package to which this bug belongs, please let me know, and I will open with the correct package.

Steps to recreate:
install the fglrx drivers, and use the attached xorg.conf file to bring up X, and log in.
Once logged in, turn off the monitors, wait 30 seconds, turn the monitors back on.
The screen where the mouse last rested comes back with mouse activity, but unable to input anyhing using mouse or keyboard. The mouse does not scroll to the other screens either.
Expected behavior: When we turn the monitors back on, everything should function as before with X taking input from mouse and keyboard, and displaying the input on all screens.
