(hi Steve) update: Got a lot of upgraded packages over the last days, including X and a new kernel. Result is still the same, and still disappointing. Loaded the new kernel and X yesterday, rebooted and everything worked fine. No screen corruption, vertical lines etc, Plymouth also doing exactly what it should. Logged in, logged out, rebooted. No Plymouth, just vertical lines and unusable system. Killed X, but that would not help either. So now I'm back at booting without KMS (using the 'nomodeset' option) which gives me a garbled screen. Luckily I can get past that by killing X and then everything works pretty well.
I really think the problems of this bug in combination with bug 509273 should be picked up and fixed, since it is the sort of 'does *not* work out of the box' issue that drives people away from Linux back to Winblows. Importance = high Serious regression cheers Tom -- Plymouth garbles screen (ATI 200M) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. _______________________________________________ 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
