Symptoms are as reported by others. Whether it's during boot or attempting to enable after boot up. Screen goes black, reports no video, then goes to sleep.
When it happens on boot, I can hit 'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'Del' or hit the power button and the machine will reboot or shut down so things are still running, just the video output that's dead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568429 Title: 1002:68b8 Radeon won't work with KMS enabled Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Xenial today and ensuring the xorg radeon driver was enabled, when booting both monitor lose signal input and the keyboard becomes unresponsive.
