[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#532238: fglrx-atieventsd: authatieventsd.sh retried forever

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

Package: fglrx-atieventsd
Severity: normal

I installed fglrx-atieventsd along with the rest of the fglrx packages
today, and my hard disk immediately started spinning.  I discovered it
was logging to auth.log every few seconds by running 'su', from
authatieventsd.sh.  The command was presumably failing and then being
retried forever.

After a reboot into the fglrx driver and a reconfigured X server, I
can no longer reproduce this; but is there any way to stop the script
from being constantly re-run?
