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 com
A quick followup on this, testing on my 2nd ATI/AMD system:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]
In this case KMS also kicks in, but now the FOSS driver is being used it
seems, all is well.

I guess bumping ati-drivers resolves all issues.

With all good will in the world after installing those drivers I've been
unable to boot my 3.10 or even 3.9 kernel using all possible boot flags.
(gentoo=nox disable splash etc etc I tried all)
A nogo thus far. )o;
Trying to undo it all...

Using the 3.9 kernel the system boots up fine. I did notice that after
upgrading my opengl profile was set to x11 rather then ati. Before
rebooting I manually corrected this.

Today I switched to the 3.11 kernel. (and skipped the 3.10 kernel)

All seems fine. This monologue can be marked solved.
