[Bug 362138] Re: system freezes on logout

[Romke Nijkamp]

I have the bug too. To recover i usually:
1. Connect to the frozen computer using SSH.
2. Run sudo pm-suspend
3. Enter my password.
4. Wake up the computer.
5. Press Control-Alt-F1

This gives you a text terminal.

Note that i have gdm disabled in this set up.

Note the following lines at the end of the console output:
waiting for x server to shut down Output CRT2 disable success
Blank CRTC 0 success
Disable CRTC 0 success
Disable CRTC memreq 0 success
Output CRT1 disable success
Blank CRTC 1 success
Disable CRTC 1 success
Disable CRTC memreq 1 success
..........

xinit:   X Server slow to shut down, sending KILL signal.

waiting for server to die.

As you can see, the x server is killed before waking the displays with:
Enable CRTC memreq 1 success
Enable CRTC 1 success
Unblank CRTC 1 success
Enable CRTC memreq 0 success
Enable CRTC 0 success
Unblank CRTC 0 success

My configuration:
