Hello, I have a system running Debian Testing. It was freshly installed from the stable net-installer image then immediately upgraded to testing. I then installed xfce4 and configured it to start from console as per these[1] instructions. However, when I run `startx`, I get some output from it (the usual xserver messages), but then the monitor goes blank.
Here's my kern.log from booting to the blank screen, then forcing a reboot again after that. http://dpaste.com/16R30GF.txt The relevant portion is here in the event the paste disappears: kernel: [ 22.631932] [drm:atom_op_jump [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 5secs aborting kernel: [ 22.631947] [drm:atom_execute_table_locked [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing CB32 (len 62, WS 0, PS 0) @ 0xCB4E kernel: [ 27.636246] [drm:atom_op_jump [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 5secs aborting kernel: [ 27.636277] [drm:atom_execute_table_locked [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing CB32 (len 62, WS 0, PS 0) @ 0xCB4E kernel: [ 27.636307] [drm:atom_execute_table_locked [radeon]] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing C1DC (len 1136, WS 0, PS 0) @ 0xC576 kernel: [ 378.768505] sysrq: SysRq : SAK kernel: [ 378.768579] tty tty1: SAK: killed process 557 (bash): by session kernel: [ 378.768586] tty tty1: SAK: killed process 483 (login): by session kernel: [ 378.768651] tty tty1: SAK: killed process 483 (login): by controlling tty kernel: [ 378.768659] tty tty1: SAK: killed process 557 (bash): by controlling tty I have the following relevant packages installed: xserver-xorg-video-radeon firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-amd-graphics intel-microcode lspci shows my video card to be: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
