I have a similar problem: with a new ATI Radeon X700 video card installed, Kubuntu hangs on startup at the log in screen. The keyboard is dead (nothing, not even Ctrl-Alt-F1 works), and mouse pointer moves but does not register a click. The only way out is to turn off the power and restart the computer, and press Esc as GRUB loads to get to the root level terminal.
My system is an Acer Aspire Desktop, AMD Sempron 3100+ processor OS is Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) I have tried modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to no avail. Looking at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the system does correctly choose the "radeon" driver, but hangs up later on. I also tried specifying other drivers -- "ati" and even "vesa" but neither works. I have not tried the fglrx restriced driver. I am now back where I started -- no video card installed at all. I am new to linux and this is my first bug report. How do I upload files like the Xorg.0.log file so you can see them? DO you want data from me or should I just wait and see what develops?
