There are a couple of reports of this on the 8.01 thread. For some people, disabling the overlay options seems to make a difference :



Which graphics card are you using ?

Thanks for the hint. I'll try meddling with the overlay options tonight. I'm using mobility X1300, on a thinkpad T60.

My system gets frozen whenever I try to log out from gnome, restart, shutdown, etc., even when I press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X. Switching to console works, but I can't issue a gdm restart in console either. Seems like the driver is refusing to reinitialize itself.

Anyone has experienced this?

BTW, I'm on Ubuntu feisty, with custom kernel 2.6.23.13 and Xorg 7.2.
