Public bug reported: After installing the proprietary ATI driver, the video during boot & also on the console (<ctrl-alt-f1>) is garbled. There are plenty of similar bugs filed. The problem can be easily be solved by adding a vga parameter to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. Other than reported eg on http://nickolaszev.blogspot.com/2011/06/plymouth-startup- with-fglrx.html, it doesn't seem necessary to set FRAMEBUFFER=y in /etc /initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash. This bug is a problem because it doesn't just affect the splash screen but also the rendering of the console.
Problem: garbled video Work around: add a vga parameter -- this should be done or at least be suggested to the user when installing fglrx. I run 12.04 beta. This problem occurs on a Thinkpad W500 (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W500, http://thinkwiki.de/W500) with a 1920x1200 screen. ** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 12.04beta ** Tags added: 12.04beta ** Description changed: After installing the proprietary ATI driver, the video during boot & also on the console (<ctrl-alt-f1>) is garbled.
