When I installed Intrepid alpha I tried to move my old configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the new intrepid install.
These options which were used to speed up video and reduce tearing and some other video improvments included this option (in the Device Section):
Option "TexturedXRender" "1"
I cam around, that as sonn as i added that option, my log in screen would flicker for about 1s and then die (with 1px blue vertical lines and ~30px yellow lines) and then a long blackscreen which will stayuntill you reboot.
The only option to reset these things is to set the option to zer0, and update /etc/ati/amd...
is to use thsi command:
sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1
I think it shouldn't be the case that TexturedXRender should prevent any user from graphically logging in, aswell as the option is "required" to watch movies/TV on your PC (as I do sometimes).

Hi schuster-bernhard,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
