Hi all, I tested the latest amd64 MATE daily iso. On all Intel graphics systems there was no issue, but on my AMD/ATI PC there was.
I had to explicitly set nomodeset on boot in order to get it running. Without that KMS kicks in and the system freezes up. The system has this card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cypress PRO [Radeon HD 5850] - If we are going to release the next release like this, and I guess we are, perhaps add a note about it to the release notes. It is fairly simple (Press F5 and check nomodeset). - If we are not going to release with a problem like this, what can I do to help tackle this problem? Is there some bug in the detection tools perhaps? - Also consider to not release with FGLRX preinstalled at all? Cheers.
