eprcmr_2329 : 31/10/07 11:08 PM : Incident created -   I have a 64 bit laptop with an ati card and am using the proprietary ati drivers for the X server. BoardName "ATI Radeon 9500 - X850" Driver "fglrx" When I logout the X server appears to restart but I am left with a black screen with a cursor (_) top left of the screen. If I try and switch users, the screen goes & stays black. ie the login screen does not appear. Shutting the laptop down and restarting works fine. This may either be a Xserver problem or a problem with kdm which I am running
