Tried the ati 6.7.196 and it's ceratinly different from before. I never get the completely hanging black screen anymore. Of my 4 or 5 attempts to boot, 1 time it worked.
The 4 or so failure times I got a partial screen usually with the revolving circular cursor spinning then stopping and then console freeze. The 1 time it worked glxgears gave around 500 FPS. Will try the latest radeon drm module next. -- ATI Radeon 9200 / 9250 PCI black screen and console freeze with DRI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114520 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
