Public bug reported:
After the upgrade, the computer crashed at the login screen where it
froze. I could not switch to a VT, login via SSH, or safer reboot via
the magic keys: RESIUB.
Anyway - after a hard reboot, I noticed the graphics setup had changed.
I have a dual monitor setup that with a 22" 1920x1080 TV and 17"
1280x1024 monitor. For some reason the 1920x1080 display likes to use an
odd resolution (1776x1000) for some signals like the one the RV770 was
pumping out cloned for both monitors of 1280x1024. That's even though
the xorg.conf explicitly stated dual monitor setup. At some point after
upgrade to 14.04 and before my second attempt to run Xorg, the original
xorg.conf file was renamed (and not replaced) with the date added on the
end.
The second run of Xorg: The graphic output looked the same with cloned
1280x1024. I noticed that even though I restored my xorg.conf file, it
proceeded to unload radeon driver and load FBDEV with LLVM pipe.
I see no obvious reason from the log files while radeon was unloaded and
not used for this card which is on it's support list.
??
Thanks much.
