We need the dmesg output from the time that happens. Please do 'dmesg > dmesg.txt' when you're on the console during the hang, and after the reboot attach dmesg.txt here.

Changed in xorg (Ubuntu):

dmesg-txt Edit (64.1 KiB, text/plain)

Weird, this time I did get Firefox to run the flash video fullscreen. After I exited fullscreen, I got the flash code written all over my desktop, burned into it, so to speak. Then I tried Chrome, did get fullscreen, but right after I exited, there was complete lockdown again. dmesg output appended.

Just confirming, the allout screen tearing happens when trying to watch full screen flash videos in Arora as well.

After installing fglrx through jockey, the situation is thus. I can run flash videos in full screen with hw acceleration in Chrome, And exit them normally. I can run them in firefox, but upon exit, i get an allout lockup of X again. Due to a mistake I made, i can't get back to KDE from tty1. Will post the dmesg from the hang if prompted.

the issue is not KDE related. I just added fglrx to Ubuntu Natty, and going
into fullscreen and exiting made X hang. This is with hw acceleration.

Hrm. I was trying to find out the status of this bug and I think in my browsing to find out why it isn't confirmed yet, I actually set it to confirmed. Is launchpad always this wide open?

tully - you have different hardware with a different driver so you should file a new bug. However your issue may be fixed by the upcoming xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.16.0 driver - see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/ and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37700

jovan dragisic, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
