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 and glx. I also got the "ati" driver to work with dri and glx, but I am not entirely sure how, this bug may have something to do with AGP Fast Write. I explicitly disabled Fast Write in xorg with: Option "AGPFastWrite" "0" in the driver section and X worked. Enabling it with "1" hard-locks X. Could someone please confirm this on their system? What is odd about this is that I can no longer reproduce this bug on the Live-CD. Booting the desktop Live-CD without changing anything results in a working system, where it previously hard-locked. -- [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
