    Lenny crashes when "lock screen" or close lid.

    Hey all

    I'm running Lenny on a B1900 laptop, Core CPU and ATI Xpress200M.
    I'm using the fglrx drivers.

    I am having a problem where the display shows random colors and then the whole OS locks up, cannot change consoles or anything - have to kill power.

    I can replicate it by using the "lock screen" function or sometimes by closing the lid. (close lid is set to "blank screen" only)

    Can anyone shed some light?

    Execute this
    Code:
    su -
    lspci | grep -i vga
    Post the output here.

    Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file too.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
