I got a couple that not even alt-sysrq+RSEIUB would get me out of. Had to power cycle. No other machine ATM to try ssh ing on though...
Ubuntu 9.10 x86-64 + catalyst 9.11 + 4850 mobility radeon
[EDIT]
also check your eye on pulseaudio, mine frequently creeps up to over 2.4GB RESIDENT RAM used -> horrible thrashing and unresponsiveness as all DRAM + VM is sucked down...
@OP
You're just lucky that recent catalyst releases have cleared up, finally, most of the basic nagging problems that alot of us have lived with for 9m(or more). Alot of people still complaining about video, and I certainly notice that compiz + fglrx is nowhere near even as good as Intel + compiz or nVidia + compiz. It's just a general anchor on performance with AMD + catalyst, not to mention it seems to affect video enough with it on that I think I know why those people were complaining about poor video for so long. (I used to have to have compiz off, because my nb wouldn't wake up with catalyst + compiz enabled... wonderful drivers)

Thanks for sharing your experience, it looks very promising. We now have to waiy for better 3D support and xvba.
Another question : how do you set quality settings and brightness with this driver ? If there is a gui, where could I find a screenshot ?
Thank you
