Created attachment 20165 [details] [review] xorg log file Here's my xorg log file - getting the same result of two black screens, with gdm still working in the background. my lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO] Another reporter with this same graphics hardware and identical symptoms has provided avivotool dumps for the good and bad states: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21879965/avivotool_bad.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21880006/avivotool_good.txt Does this still happen with 6.11.0 or git master? This happens to me with Kubuntu 9.04 - here is a cut & paste from my original error report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/273510 . I will add the related as well. ---original report--- I'm having this problem with a fresh install of Kubuntu Jaunty, using either the radeon or the fglrx driver. Hardware: - Asus M2A-VM motherboard - Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 graphics card installed - DELL E248 WFP LCD display (24'', 1920 x 1200 native) Hardy works fine on the machine, when I install Jaunty into a separate partition I'm running into problems. The symptoms are the same as describe above: - When trying to start from the standard CD, the screen turns to black after the boot screen disappears. The display goes into powersafe eventually - Installing from the alternate CD works fine. When trying to boot the installed system, the screen turns black again when the KDM screen ought to appear. I can switch to the console via ctrl-alt-F1 when using the radeon driver, but not when using fglrx. Looking through Xorg.0.log I can't find anything that points to a problem. I've run radeontool both on the Jaunty install and on the working Hardy install (using the radeontool version from the Jaunty install in both cases). I'll upload the resulting reports, Xorg.0.log and the result of lspci as run on the Hardy install. If I can provide any additional information, please tell me what you need. This problem is a blocker for me, and I appreciate any help I can get. Created attachment 25263 [details]

Output of lspci -vvnn
Please make sure the fglrx kernel module has not been previously loaded when you start the open source driver. Also, you'll need avivotool rather than radeontool for your card as the display hardware is different. Thanks for looking into that. I ran avivotool on kubuntu 8.10 (working) and 9.04 (broken), using the version from 9.04 both times. 9.04 was a fresh install, fglrx was not installed, no related modules showed up in lsmod.

I've worked around the problem by installing the fglrx driver. If I can be of any help with tracking down the problem with the radeon driver on my particular hardware please contact me. Is this still an issue with ati from git master? closing due to lack of feedback. closing harder :) |
