Description Tavis Barr 2005-05-14 16:03:18 UTC 
I have a Compaq Presario R4000 running Ubuntu 5.04 and XOrg 6.8.2, using a
Radeon XPress 200M.  Soon after the GDM login screen, the system completely
hangs.  I cannot even ssh into it.  I did not have this problem when using the
VGA driver (which only is capable of 320x200 on this system), nor when using the
older agpgart / VESA driver combination available in other OSes (Ubuntu 4.10 and
Fedora Core 3).

Specifically, it hangs when, at the gdm login screen, I hit the radio button to
choose another session; or, soon after gnome login, during the splashscreen
phase, or, in failsafe mode, as soon as I launch another XWindows application.
(I can login in failsafe mode, but the xterm window does not render properly.)

Here is a dump of Xorg.0.log.  There is no additional output at the time of the
hang.

Can you try again with xorg from cvs or try adding this line to the device
section of your config:

chipid 0x5460
