(Get the code!)
Hi there
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome and I have the same problem!
I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8600 1.7GHz with an ATi Radeon 9600 Turbo Pro graphic card. Everything just works fine and I get fine result with the glxgears and fglrxinfo. I haven't setup anything only enabled the 3D and installed Compiz fusion.
When I logout or switch user it's going in black screen and can't do anything but push the power button :(
It's running fglrx in the xorg.conf. I have tryed to change the fglrx to ati and then it works, but then the 3D isn't working.
Some say it's because of the atieventsd.sh script has some wrong file destinations and then locks up. But I'm a newbie here, so don't know anything about it.
I have tryed all this without any succes:
System freezes after logout with GDM or KDM
If you use GDM modify
File: /etc/X11/
AlwaysRestartSe
If you use KDM add to the [X-:*-Core] section the following
File: /usr/kde/
TerminateServer
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use "ati" instead of "fglrx"? fixed the problem for me, but then compiz doesn't work.
If you experience hangs when logging out (of X) it is probably due to the /etc/ati/
You can kill the hanging authatieventsd.sh processes from a console tty to allow the shutdown of the X server. This can be fixed permanently with:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/
sudo ln -s /var/run/xauth /var/lib/
If that doesn't work then you can disable atieventsd with this command:
sudo /usr/sbin/
I have also tryed all of this described here:

Does anyone else have a solution for the problem?
I don´t know if I run the free og restricted ati driver...it's the one from Ubuntu 8.04 when I installed it.
Can I do something to help? Because it's pretty ignoring.
This bug is quit similar to this, where I also have posted:
