[Herbert Straub]

After a fresh install of Hoary Preview on a AMD64 System with a ATI Radeon 9200
card, the Screen and the keyboard freeze. With a single mode boot and a modified
runlevel 5 (without gdm) a tried to find the failure situation. With a remote
login via ssh and a startx i see the following:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!


---> then the screen freeze and after a couple of minutes:

waiting for X server to shut down

xinit:  unexpected signal 2.


OK, now without dri - vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

        #Load   "dri"

OK --> Ubuntu Desktop --> with this setup a normal reboot --> OK, Ubuntu Login
screen. I think the dri statement is the problem.

Thanks and best regards
