Well, xserver-xorg-video-ati version 1:6.7.193-1ubuntu1 didn't fix my problem. I have since done some more tests and have learned that adding the following section to my xorg.conf allows me to load X with the "ati" driver.
Section "Module" Disable "glx" Disable "dri" EndSection I will attach the requested xrandr --verbose -q -d :0, with the ati driver presently. -- ati driver lockup (mobility radeon rv350) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
