Bug Description
Using Kubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha (latest as available via aptitude dist-upgrade). Updated my system last night (January 8, 2008) and an update to xserver-
Changing driver to fglrx in /etc/X11/xorg.conf allows X to start. So my issue is extremely similar to another bug report

Hi,
I confirm this behaviour in Kubuntu Hardy Heron (pre-release) on my PC. After upgrading my pc using aptitude dist-upgrade yesterday, my PC totally freezes/locks up when starting Xorg using the ati or radeon open source drivers. It directly crashes once the Xorg window appears and BEFORE seeing the kdm login window. However, when using the fglrx driver, I can still successfully start up the Xorg server and log into kdm just fine. I use an ATI Radeon 9500 AGP video card. My xorg.conf file has not changed these past few months, but since yesterday, X crashes....
New bug in Xorg? Or in ati or radeon driver?
Regards,
Mark Rijckenberg

Did aptitude update and then aptitude dist-upgrade. Rebooted pc. Still not working.
Then I rebooted Kubuntu in recovery mode. Renamed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.confOLD.
Ran X -configure to force X to create a new xorg.conf file. xorg.conf creation failed. Logfile for this is "X-configure-
Currently, my Xorg still only works when using the ATI fglrx drivers.

Hi,
After reboot, the situation was even worse. So I used aptitude dist-upgrade again to automatically downgrade the ATI driver to xserver-
Any other idea's?

Hi Mark,
ATI Technologies Inc R300 AD [Radeon 9500 Pro] rev 0
This is your card as identified in the X log you sent. This is a different chip than the one this bug is reported on; I would recommend that you open a separate bug report for your problem.

Mark: the conflict is there for a purpose. Gutsy version of the driver was built against an older xserver, so it won't work with hardy which has xserver 1.4.
This might be fixed upstream, I'll ask them."
