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,
