Looks like the drm did try to load but failed, and ultimately the vesa framebuffer loaded instead. Install xdiagnose and use it to disable vesafb entirely. Turn on Debug Messages while you're at it (the first checkbox). Then restart your computer and collect 'dmesg'. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757467 Title: Radeon 7000VE (rv100) fatal error during GPU init _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
