Solved: Dell 1501 amd64 won't Shutdown after fglrx install.

[sqlpython]

After I installed ATI fglrx on my Del 1501 amd64 it would not Reboot/Shutdown/Logout..
I am running Feisty 7.04 AMD64 kenel..
Here is my fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)

Here is what I did to fix the Problem. I hope it helps someone else.

******************
** These 3 steps correct/allow per KDE GUI Logout/Reboot/Shutdown

# Kubuntu 7.04 amd64 w/ ATI fglrx Installed

Hmmm... Doesn't seem to work for me on another Dell Inspiron 1501, AMD64 with fglrx... Only thing I can see is different is that I'm on Gutsy final (and thus presumably a different kernel version 2.6.22-14)

On suspend/hibernate, screen goes black and appears to shutdown, power light stays on, but nothing I do seems to be able to restart the computer. I have to hold down the power button to fully turn off and then turn on again. When it boots there;s no sign of a remembered session.

Hi

On suspend/hibernate, screen goes black and appears to shutdown,

My workaround was strictly for a shutdown problem on a 64bit after fglx ati drivers were installed.. Never tried not nor do I use Hibernate or Suspend.
