I can say the bug is still alive, at least with my X1300 on Ubuntu/8.10

It is interesting that the Xlog file does not show any error at all. But the X hangs just before giving the login gdm window.

I tried all the suggestions posted here (included the "--acpi-services=off") without success.

At the moment, the only way I found to make the X work is to uninstall fglrx and choose the ati driver.

It is even more interesting that this bug appears to me only recently, after one of the upgrades. I mean that when I installed Ubuntu/8.10 fglrs worked great. I could use 9.2 ati-driver version. But at some point, for unknown reasons, this hang-behavior started appearing, and now I am stuck.

It is depressing not to use the card at its best.

Only solution for now for me at the moment is: either to wait for at/ubuntu fix or to reinstall Ubuntu/8.04.

The post that this happens also in Suse makes me feel it is not just an Ubuntu problem.
