Still having the same problem, in addition around one in every 5-10
KDE starts, when the KDE startup screen has finished the screen goes
totally blank and even ctrl-alt-f1 does zip, I suspect this is the
display driver as well.
Extra info ...
vanda at vanda-system:~$ sudo lshw | grep display -nA 10
96: *-display
97- description: VGA compatible controller
98- product: RV635 PRO AGP [Radeon HD 3650]

106- configuration: driver=fglrx_pci latency=255

vanda at vanda-system:~$
Any ideas anyone ?
Cheers
