[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#513222: fglrx-driver: crashes Xorg

[Mika Hanhijärvi]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:8-12-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

fgrlx driver crashes the Xorg on Debian Lenny.

I just installed all the latest updates available, including the fglrx 
driver packages. Fglrx packages were updated from version 1:8-7-3 to
1:8-12-4. I then rebooted my system.

After the reboot X does not work. gdm starts but then it shows 
corrupted screen and the whole system hangs. I can't even go to console.
If I reboot to single user mode and run startx from the command line 
then exactly the same happens. I get corrupted screen and systms hangs.

In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log there is error like this (I have also 
attached the whole log file to this report):

Backtrace:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


I did not have this problem with ealier fglrx 8-7-3. I downloaded fglrx 
1:8-7-3 packages from the snapshot.debian.net, and now X 
works again. So fglrx 8-12-4 seems to be broken.
