Comment 33 for bug 290704

I too have an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro and suffer this problem both on Linux Mint 5 (Hardy-based) and 7 (Jaunty-based). This bug is an absolute killer for me because the rest of my family uses my computer too, and trying to tell them not to use switch user when my account is locked because it will break the system is most likely a nonstarter! Using an open-source driver does fix the problem, but removes 3D support which is marginally more important to me then switch-user support. But why are we forced to choose? Is it too much to ask for ATI to give us drivers that let us use ALL the functions of our operating systems? Come on, sort out fglrx! This should definitely be a high-priority bug, as it's ruinous for anyone who uses switch-user, and unfortunately the open source equivalent doesn't yet utilise the full potential of the card (though I live in hope).
