I (original reporter) am ok on raring, but bad on saucy with Mobility Radeon HD 5850.
by installing the linux-image-3.11.4-031104-generic package from mainline kernel builds, I was able to follow the DebuggingKernelBoot directions. After the text boot, it switched to a blank/black X VT, but I *was* able to switch via ctrl+alt+f1 to log into a text prompt. then killed gdm/X from there, and tried a startx. again got a black screen, but noticed some fglrx related errors (due to no fglrx module built?) in the vt1 console which i was able to swtich back to via ctrl+alt+f1. edited xorg.conf to use ati driver instead of fglrx and tried startx again. in this case, was *not* able to switch via ctrl+alt+f1 anymore.... what else should I look at to provide more useful information? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1233753 Title: saucy images boot to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1233753/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
