Hi, sorry for the double-post, but I do not know if this is 64-bit specific, as I do not have 32-bit intsallation to test.
Anyway: SuSE 10 x86_64 kernel 2.6.13-15.8-default xorg - 6.8.2-100.2 ati prop. driver - 8.22.5-x86_64 (tried 8.21.7 - same problem) videocard - ATI X800 - ExpressPCI KDE - 3.5.1 Level "a"
The problem: Using the switch user option of KDE to start a new kdm for a second user to login works OK, The user can login. But if then I try Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to the other session, or when I close the new session, or if I switch to virtual terminal (Ctrl-ALt-1..6), and try to get back to any X one (Alt7-8) it badly hangs the machine. No remote access either, so I can not kill the X server.
Looks like the problem is with the ati proprietary driver, as if I uninstall it and use the generic one, everything works just fine.
Do someone have such a problem? Is it isolated only to the 64bit version, or it happen with the 32 bit as well?
Any suggestions how to solve/or at least debug and try to solve the problem? ATI's site is horrible, so before I even try to deal with them, I'd like to receive as much as possible information.
Any experience/opinion is welcome.
Cheers
Sunny, Can't say that I had the same problem as you did with the 32-bit, I tried, but I did have problems with the 8.22.5 build of the ATI driver. I went back to the previous build and have no problems. I'm also only using the 9200 card here. Just thinking back and I do believe I did have that same problem you experienced. Lee
