Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: fglrx-kernel-source
I am running kubuntu intrepid on a dell inspiron 1521; it has an ATI
radeon x1270, according to the user manual. I have been successfully
using the "radeon" driver for the video card. I ran jockey, which
informed me that I could install the fglrx driver, and I did. It seemed
to install version 8.543 of the fglrx driver.
Following restart, when kdm attempted to launch, I got a message in the
lower right corner of the screen saying "Testing only; unsupported video
card." and a spinning mouse cursor, after which it seemed to crash and
then relaunch in an endless cycle. When I would switch to a different
tty, kdm would relaunch too quickly (switching me back to tty7) for me
to edit my X configuration.
The only way I could fix this was to reboot into single-user mode and
restore my old X configuration.
