I've just tested the Kubuntu 8.10 Beta Live CD (i386) and there is no change. The monitor goes to sleep when the driver loads and only wakes up if I switch to vt1. If I switch back to vt7 the monitor goes blank again. This happens in both normal and safe graphics mode. I checked the Xorg.0.log and the same driver loads in both modes.
I think this bug should be tagged Critical and be targeted for the final release. It's a potential show stopper for a lot of people out there who got a recent ATI card. The solution would probably be to load the radeonhd for the R6xx/R7xx cards by default. -- Radeon Driver fails to load on 2 Sep daily [ATI HD3870] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
