Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
setting radeon.modeset=1 makes the X session unloadable
i've tried it with EXA and XAA accelmethods, on 16 and 24 bits
XAA seems making no difference (actually it seems in the log that EXA is used
whether I set XAA or not)
so here are the symptoms:
e...@24 bits:
loading and splash seems fine, but upon the X session start (i use autoload) i
can only see the panel loaded, and after a few secs i'm dropped back to the
login screen. i can switch to VT. colours and size are normal both in login
screen and VT.
e...@16 bits:
loading and splash seems fine, but on X session start, i can see my background
and the auto-starting apps 4 times tiled on the screen, and everything is
dimmed and greenish, except for the mouse pointer. after a few secs i'm dropped
back to login screen. it's tiled on the screen 4 times, and dimmed green too.
the vt's size is normal, but it's also green
attached some logs that might be useful
driver version is
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.99+git20090929.7968e1fb-0ubuntu1
