"System was installed using Boris/Adam's "agpmode=-1"that worked to clean up the 14.10 GUI . . . and I've tried various flavors of "radeonfb" boot parameters . . . "
- don't! My understanding was using "radeonfb" conflicts with KMS which we want to use nowadays, so try to leave it out and instead use only "video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1" "Yesterday I ran "sudo Xorg -configure" . . . and generated an xorg.conf file . . . it does show "radeon" as the driver, along with a bunch of other stuff . . . rebooted . . . no difference." - Did you move it to it's right place via "sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377878 Title: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the mouse pointer. And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened to have at the time it froze. The steps I have to cause the freeze are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox. It will freeze every time then. Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable. What kind of information can I collect and how?
