1 - yeah we stripped out all the funky heuristics that dpkg-reconfigure used to do. They fixed some problems but cause others, and was a PITA to maintain. 2 - actually it's not gdm but the failsafe-x code kicking in. It is set up to work with gdm but not other display managers. I consider xdm t

I experimented quite a bit during the last two days, so the results are now ready to report. To summarize my efforts, I managed to get X11 up and running, but I am still not sure where the issue originated. To Robert Hooker: I did: echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash a

Looks like radeon is loading far too late in the boot process in your case. Can you run these two commands in a terminal and try again? echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash then sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot. -- Xserver does not start due to drm problem https

Hmm, this is really odd. Well I'm not sure that it's an issue with the -ati driver necessarily - it looks like something is messed up lower down, like maybe xorg-server. I notice that it has this line: xorg-server 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu5 (Bryce Harrington ) Which looks weird... it should mention a b

The problem occurred sometime on Apr 15, and 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu2 is from the 12th. Here is the list of installed video drivers (note the

I tried an earlier kernel (2.6.32-16) which I am sure used to work, but there is no change. It seems the issue lies within the driver. I tried downgrading but there seem to be some issues. I can see the old deb files using a locate, but apt-cache does not indicate their presence, hence I cannot do
