Public bug reported: I can't test/install Feisty Fawn 7.04 Herd 4, when it comes to starting X it presents black screen, keyboard is functional Ctrl+Alt+F1 gives: "Ubuntu is loading..." and Ctrl+Alt+F7 gives black screen again.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS So, I suspect this may be a problem: Ubuntu enables DRI by default in xorg.conf, it tries to load r128 module but we have this bug open for some time now: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5562 I saw this in Edgy Eft (and Fedora Core 6) too - workaround for installing it was to replace /etc/X11/xorg.conf with working one that is different for these lines I need to comment: # Load "glx" # Load "dri" # Section "DRI" # Mode 0666 # EndSection With Edgy Eft it was different in that way that I had console working, not with Herd 4 . One can get Ati Rage 128 DRI working only with this kernel config: CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_R128=y It gives ~ 460 fps in glxgears then. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Can't install Feisty Fawn Herd 4, graphic card problem https://launchpad.net/bugs/87530 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
