Summary: Screen gets turned off until reboot (DGA+ATI only?)

Initial Comment:
When I try to start all-demo (or any other program/game
that uses Allegro) my screen gets turned off. It stays
turned off even if I switch to another VT, change
resolution in Xorg or whatever (but the computer still
responds). The only thing that helps is a reboot.

This happens on Ubuntu 5.04 on a computer with a ATI
Radeon 9500 Pro graphics card. The fglrx driver is
installed and both 2D and 3D acceleration works flawlessly.

I have encountered exactly the same problem two other
computers (one with an ATI X300 card, and the other
with an ATI 3D Turbo something), but I don't know if
the game I tried to start then was using Allegro.

If i rename the "alleg-dga2.so" file then everything
works fine.

I'm using:
Ubuntu Linux 5.04
X Window System Version 6.8.2 (Ubuntu 6.8.2-10
20050405154308 root@xxxxxxxxxx)
Allegro 4.1.15-5
