TLE: That is odd since the ati-driver is not a real driver, it is just a
wrapper around r128, radeon and atimisc. When it is run it probes the
hardware and then selects the appropriate driver to load.
I can reproduce your results on my system, Using "radeon" explicitly
gives me working X with dri
Tormod: Disabling composite results in X hard-locking, so the only
viable option seems to be to disable dri and glx.
TLE, Troels: You should only have to disable dri and glx to get a
working Live-CD. Using the "vesa" driver results in quite a performance
hit in X rendering, so using the "ati" driv

switching to consoles work (well, no 3d acceleration of course).

DominikBodi: I don't think generalizing this bug to usplash is correct,
that seems to be a variation of the bug. I am experiencing the same
symptoms as the initial report regardless of if I am using splash or
not. I removed splash from the kernel line which gave me the standard
