I do have the same problem on my HP Compaq 615 (graphics card: AMD HD 3200). It only happens when the fglrx drivers are installed, which results in KMS being disabled. It does *not* matter whether I have an xorg.conf file to tell X to actually use the fglrx driver. This is the Xorg.0.log error message: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
When above conditions are met, the lockup occurs about every 3rd to 4th time. Ctrl+Alt+Del sanely restarts the machine. While googling for the problem, I found this old issue in Red Had with exactly the same symptoms (as in, only happening with KDM, irreproducible, and same error in X log file): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323501 ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #323501 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323501 -- xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
