Comment 28 for bug 118605

I have the same problem as the original reporter on a default Kubuntu 8.04 Beta, i386
the computer is a Toshiba A210-1BH with a Mobility Radeon HD 2400
i'm using all the current packages in hardy, and using fglrx from ubuntu repo.

on logoff, or even on Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, the system freezes. Up to this morning, i could use the SysRQ keys, but today (after some package updates), the freeze is total, caps lock blinking and strange squares blinking on the screen.

using ati opensource driver closes the problem... but that's not a solution :-)

i tested the above atieventsd.sh patch, but it was not a solution for this problem

Syslog does not give anything special : this is the log from my last session (had to reboot using power button).
