AIGLX fails after using VT1

[paul]

I'm running ubuntu 8.04 with catalyst 8.4 from amd/ati driver, M54 (aka X1400 Mobility) laptop

seems to be a bug that causes AIGLX to disable after using a virtual terminal (C-A-F1)

when it fails, it prevents logging into session (kde or gnome) and restarts xserver .. on 2nd start AIGLX seems to work and login proceeds normally.

other times, logout / login freezes after starting VT1 and have to reboot to get back in. Without using a virtual term seems ok.

these errors appear in the failed (grep EE Xorg.0.log)
(EE) fglrx(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler
(EE) AIGLX error: drmGetMagic failed
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

diff Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log.old between working and failed sessions gives:

Same happens with me on Gentoo using Catalyst 8.522.

(1) First time kdm starts, everything is fine.
(2) Then I logout and try to login: no more AIGLX.
(3) Then I logout: X server crashes.
(4) Then I restart X server, go to (1)

2 things:
do you have your display manager set to restart xorg on logout? (default is no. turn this option on)
is atieventsd running? (default is yes. turn it off)
