hmm, I was mentioning the issue on IRC, and Kano told me to check in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer ... and lo and behold, it's hardcoded to load i915:
if modprobe -q intel_agp && modprobe -q i915; then FB=kms fi ;; The so suggested that I change the conditional to "grep -q i915 /proc/modules", and add udev to PREREQ. Perhaps we should change the description: "initramfs-tools framebuffer script loads i915 even when hardware not present" -- [Mobility Radeon HD] fglrx DRI initialization failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392039 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
