I reported this phenomenon here, it is still present. With HALD and DBUS enabled and an automatic generated xorg.conf file only HD4830 works, but it locks up/freezes the box when exiting Xorg/xdm. With HD4770 and HD4670, only hardwiring keyboard and mouse, disabling HALD and DBUS works, otherwise the Xorg server freezes the box immediately after starting. Also, with the hardwireddown xorg.conf file, exiting a session/resetting Xorg renders the box frozen. Oliver
