Originally posted by DirtyHairy View PostHmmm, if atieventsd is the culprit, then I would wager that the driver is in fact locking up on switching powerstates which is performed by atieventsd (which reproducibly locks up my machine, see my post in the main thread). You might want to check this assertion by manually trying to switch powerstates via aticonfig...
<snip>
So, without atieventsd running, I'm still successfully using automatic powerstate switching when I pull the AC plug or close/open the LID.

I have same poweroff/logout/switchuser problem.
Also if my x doesn't start correctly when i start my pc... and i let it stay there like for 5+ minutes it's stuck and hard reset is only way to restart.
As i asked elsewhere... do i really have to wait another month (at least) before this gets fixed???
Restaring from power button is bad for any os so hopefully this will be fixed....ASAP.
Kubuntu 7.10 w/ latest updates.
Ati 2400 pro pcie.

fix with disabled atieventsd didn't work for me
i also tried the suggested fix with disabled atieventsd daemon but had no luck. x still crashes on logout or ctrl-alt-bkspce. i killed atieventsd daemon a few times manually. it's also no difference if i'm logged in alone or there are two or more logged users.
i'm on:
hp compaq nx8220
ati mobility radeon x600
kubuntu gutsy 7.10
default kernel
catalyst 8.01 installed with envy
thanks for your work,

I don't know about the differences between the original AMD/ATI driver packages and the ones built by the Ubuntu devs though.
