[Bug 30447] Re: Lockup problems with both the free xorg ATI driver and the proprietary fglrx driver, using various ATI cards

[Travis B. Hartwell]

I use an ATI 9700 Pro in my desktop machine.  I get no lock-ups with the
recent kernels, except when I try to switch users.  Since my wife and I
share the computer, I need to be able to switch users.  I would also
like to have hardware acceleration so I can play around with Google
Earth, Xgl and other things, but the free drivers do not support
accelerated video on the R300 chipset-based cards.

I really would like this to work...not sure if it is an ATI issue or an
Ubuntu issue, but probably it is something with the closed drivers.
