Public bug reported:
After the latest round of updates, including kernel 2.6.31.15 and
ureadahead, I lost the ability to use compositing in X. I checked to
make sure my radeon modules were loaded, and everything seemed okay.
However, in order to fix, I need to go to a tty terminal and stop gdm,
modprobe -r radeon drm, modprobe radeon, start gdm. After all that,
compositing would work again. This seems to happen on every boot now.
Also, occasionally, when I boot up my screen will stay black. I think
gdm starts, because I hear a login sound effect that plays when the
login window appears, but my screen is empty. I can't even switch to a
tty terminal, the screen stays black. My only choose is to restart my
computer and hope I starts up properly. This seems to only happen
sprodically.
My gut tells me this might have something to do with either the latest
kernel, or the new ureadahead package. I think something isn't loading
properly.
