Running Lucid Alpha AMD64 on a Dell 131L laptop with ATI 200M video

Ah, seems our messages missed each other in transit.
Obviously my system is also bitten by another bug concerning KMS / DRM
and (older?) ATI cards. This does not always occurr but more often than
not. I use the 'nomodeset' flag to prevent this one.
Ok, please file a separate bug report on the

I tried both with and without just now. With KMS (no 'nomodeset') the
screen went into vertical lines straight away and I did give that
another go. I rebooted again and used 'nomodeset'.
I have not put it in my grub.cfg permanently.
Since the KMS-related problem is intermittent, I

Ok,
Tom,
Please install the 0.8.0~-10ubuntu1 version of the plymouth and
libplymouth2 packages and run 'apport-collect -p plymouth 519891'.
When booting to the garbled screen, please also test whether Alt+SysRq+K
successfully resets it for you.

Lucid breaks every other day; no gui and no tty
hi Steve,
Gave Plymouth another try just now. Installed current version from the
repository, checked the script you mentioned in #3 (it's the correct one) and
rebooted.
I saw the blue/white bars, broken up by some messages. After that I got the
garbled left hand side of the screen again, the
same bug ?!:

No, not the same bug, but there are probably relations between them.
I've been having problems with Plymouth with and without disabling KMS
(booting with 'nomodeset') and also the other way around.
Uninstalling Plymouth gives me a usable system, but I'm pretty sure that
there are issues with
Steve,
I will try that and give you feedback, but not the coming week. Right
now both ATI and NVidia systems are booting well -and faster!- without
Plymouth. It seems there are too many issues related to Plymouth and
given the consequences of that (unusable system) I prefer to wait a
while or

After solving the problems on my wife's laptop (Dell XPS 1530 with a
NVidiia, not an ATI card) I decided to try removing Plymouth from my own
laptop too. Booted into recovery mode using 'nomodeset' and kicked
Plymouth. System restarted fine after that.
Uninstalling Plymouth
removing Plymouth solved issue, so confirmed I think.
