If you are running Kubuntu Hardy with the flgrx drivers and logging out does not work due to the Xorg process locking up at 100% of CPU usage, you should thank
Stefan Carslöv for tracking down the issue to /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh being unproperly configured, you need to change
XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A$1*
to:
XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/run/xauth/A$1*
My problem is, that X doesn`t start with fglrx enabled in Hardy.
ReplyDeletethe screen goes black on all screens. only a reboot fixes the problem. ;-)
Thank you very much for your post!!
ReplyDeleteI have had this problem for more than one week in my MacBookPro.... I needed to press ctrl-alt-supr to continue shutdown after exit KDE.
Your suggestion works very well!
This doesn't work for me (on Debian Lenny/amd64) with fglrx 8.3. Apparently it might if I had 3GB of RAM and not 4, but I'm reluctant to bother trying that possible solution. I've been wondering if running i386 would make a difference, but again, I'd rather use 64bit because RAM is cheap and my buying more of it for no good reason is likely.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I will try this out and see.

ReplyDeleteThis works for me. Have some other errors and warnings during shutdown, but this took care of the worst.
Good :D I will probe it when I go back to home. :))
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. It worked like a charm :)
ReplyDeleteThis is THE solution for me ! It works fine on a Thinkpad under Kubuntu 8.10.
