[Bug 585689] Re: hard freeze just before ubuntu splash screen

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Bernhard, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is
already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one
would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  hard freeze just before ubuntu splash screen

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  At about 1 in 5 times I get a hard freeze when booting Ubuntu Lucid:
  it happens exactly when the system tries to switch to the splash
  screen. I can see some funny red symbols at the top of the screen when
  it freezes, so it looks to me like it's an xorg problem. It's a hard
  freeze, so I need a power cycle to resume.

  My computer is a Dell Inspiron 9400 and I have an ATI Radeon card. At
  this point, I would be happy just to have a workaround, is there any
  way I can avoid these freezes?
