Once ubuntu finished installing; after removing DVD and pressing enter when requested system never managed to shutdown properly in order to start POST just get a black screen with no input so no tty or cli or alt + sysrq +reisub so power button on case had to be used.
Got to log in screen once powered up again.
imo this is a xorg bug which is well reported all ready but cannot get a fix for this particular hardware configuration in order to confirm this or not.
Once logged in to default desktop session if power button at top right of screen is used to select restart or shut down the machine goes to black screen>power button on case has to be used to restart system.
Have spent time searching and have tried some work arounds like reinstalling linux headers and trying different drivers.
Here is some machine info

On rebooting there is some times text giving a boot status/progress broadcast message agpart is reporting unsupported ATI chipset.
Yet the system still boots but because of all the other known bugs thought it would be ok to ask for some advice with regard to what i am trying to achieve which is to install and configure ubuntu/hardware for running games launched through steam (windows client). Thanks in advance for any constructive advice.
