System Freeze on Switch user

[Odur]

It worked for me with my old X600 card. But that was almost a year ago...

I tried the suggested solution in message 174 on page 7 in that thread. Didn't do any good at all...

modprobe -r fglrx && modprobe fglrx
before typing startx does help against black screen on second login

Could you explain that in detail? I have no luck whatsoever, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I don't use gdm or kdm so after I log out of XFCE I am at VC/1
usually if I try to xtartx or xinit after that, my pc hangs

but when I tried that command, which basically reloads fglrx module (?), next xinit was normal.

[Odur]

Oh, I see. Not exactly the same problem then.

[alec]

there are several supgroups to this problem. For some it freezes on logout, for some on starting xinit (which is involved in user switching)

[Odur]

Yes, of course. They are definitely related. I just meant that it was not exactly the same problem as I have, and that is why that solution doesn't work for me.

If I start another VT and try to unload the fglrx module, I get a fatal error because the module is in use in my other session.

Update: fglrx 9.04 still has the same problem. The only change to my system is that I have installed Kubuntu Jaunty instead of Intrepid.

Next time I'll buy an Nvidia...
