** Also affects: xserver-xorg-driver-ati (upstream) via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8079 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup + [regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup ** Description changed: Problem: Failure in booting in to Live Desktop 6.10. Result: Screen Goes Black after boot phase, right as it enters the Desktop phase. Must power off to remedy. Steps to Reproduce: 1) boot x386 CD and DVD (I've tested both) 2) choose either default Start/Install or Safe Graphics Start/Install 3) 6.10 boots and goes along without issue with the new Ubuntu boot splash. 4) It finishes the boot process, then goes to the standard momentary black screen with the white cursor in the upper-left corner. 5) Then, the screen goes black. Using F4 VGA options doesn't solve the issue. note: a signature of this particular bug is that selecting ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 does NOT bring up console either before or after you get a black screen. As a result, commands to change drivers as a workaround will not work with this bug, increasing its severity. Test Specs: ATI Radeon 9200 SE video card (AGP) Compaq P1100 21' monitor and Acer 54e monitor ASUS K8V SE Deluxe mobo AMD Athlon XP 64 3000+ (I only load the 386 OS on to it, though) 512mb RAM. note: when noting your specs in your report, please note if your video card is AGP or PCI-E, if you have an AMD 32 or 64 bit system (or Intel) and which Edgy OS you are loading. The more info, the better. + + Known workarounds: Disable DRI or set AGP speed to 4x in BIOS settings. -- [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
