[Bug 46470] Re: System freeze with white screen

[Angus Kerr]

This is still an issue with Gutsy and Hardy.

The workaround still applies. I am concerned that a lot of new users
will be put off because of this and other driver related
issues......Like with Gutsy the boot CD - X works in 640x480 mode. In
Hardy, X is broken and you need to boot up in failsafe mode and then
enable the protected driver.

I believe that it will affect a lot of users with built-in ATI Graphics
cards. I have seen a lot of activity regarding the issue.

I will try this with Gentoo and other distros and report back.
