Using the Alpha 5 Live CD, I pressed F6 to edit the options and added radeon.modeset=1 just before the 'quiet splash -- ' parameters. Once the boot process started, the screen said something like "unknown boot option, ignoring" in reference to the modeset option. Boot process continued normally, until after the boot splash went away (prior to gdm starting): my screen went into power saving mode and the computer did nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Del had no effect and I had to hard reset the system.
I am using an ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350) 256MB graphics card (manufactured by ATI) on a Biostar M7NCD motherboard with an nVidia nForce2 400 + MCP chipset. If there is any further testing/debugging I can do from the Live CD, please let me know. -- (Needs radeon-rewrite) 3D stuff breaks with Compiz: Redirected Direct Rendering is needed in DRI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96991 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
