Why is doing anything on launchpad always a battle? This is not going to be fixed in the linux kernel or the radeon xorg driver. Never ever ever ever. It is just a waste of time to pretend it will. The only way to fix this is to force pci mode. The only way to tell users to do this is through a boot message.
I give up. -- 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?
