TLE, you have to do precisely what I wrote, use chroot /root. Quash and Scott, can you also try disabling dri and glx?
About Safe Graphics Mode, I don't think it has any effect, at least on ati cards. From looking at /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.config it seems broken - the boot option xforcevesa which has been set by the boot menu is practically ignored by this script. I got the same xorg.conf anyway when I tried it, and the ati driver was used. ** Summary changed: - [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts + [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup -- [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
