Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-i810

System: Toshiba Satellite A105-S4384 running Ubuntu 6.10 amd64. (freshly updated as of today)

Problem:
Logging out of GNOME results in system hang.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start UbuntuLinux 6.10 amd64 on aforementioned hardware model.
2. Login to GNOME via gdm.
3. Logout via System->Logout
Comments:
Using i810 video driver.
Other problems that could indicate a deeper root cause include usplash corruption (bluish color, almost like RGB->BGR transposed, progress bar appears incorrectly,) synaptics driver causing kernel panic on X11 start, Modeswitching in Quake3 while running beryl causing kernel panic. I will attempt installing 32bit Ubuntu 6.10 in a couple of weeks to see if this is an amd64 specific problem. lspci and dmesg dumps available if they are deemed necessary.

I have the exact same problem on an AMD Turion 64 with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M with Ubuntu Feisty Fiend Beta. I have tried several display drivers and the problem does not change. I also saw synaptics drivers mentioned in the logs. The hang is irrecoverable. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would tell me why this is happening.

Robin, as you can see this bug is about i810 driver.

Philip; please test Feisty beta or later.

Seems fine now in Feisty beta. Synaptics works without panicking my
kernel, logout/login does not hang. Any idea what the problem used to
be, out of curiosity?

Nice to know that it works now. I don't know what fixed it, could be the driver alone or combined with something else.
