Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
This is a Toshiba A200 1GB laptop. The graphics card is an ATI Mobility
HD 2600 and I'm running the ATI fglrx driver, version 8.41.7 (since
nothing else works with this card except vesa, which can't give me the
native resolution ;)). I'm running Kubuntu gutsy.
When logging off from the K Menu, X crashes. This means I'm left at the
tty1 login prompt, with the mouse cursor still painted on screen. Upon
login, inspection of /var/log/Xorg.0.log reveals:

==========
So I do a `ps -A` and see kdm still running. I do Ctrl+Alt+F7 to see if
the login screen is there and the display freezes blank. I can't type
anything nor switch back to another tty. The only thing I can do is
restart via the power button (Ctrl+Alt+Del no luck).
I reboot, login and logoff again. This time when I get at the tty1
prompt I try switching to another tty < 7, and back again. That works. I
do a `sudo killall kdm`, then `sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart`. I get back
at the login screen, everything normal.
Please tell me what else I should report. I'm aware that the ATI driver
is unsupported; does that mean I'm not entitled to report the the
problem on Launchpad?
