I just have the same problem with GDM and an ATI HD4670. (Lucid as of now) I believe it has to do with the fglrx (I'm using the just released one) not liking the "radeon" kernel driver. Leaving everything as it is, I can see the splash (graphically) but it then goes all purple and nothing more happens. The keyboard is dead at this moment.
The things to make it work are: 1. "nomodeset" kernel parameter, or 2. "radeon.setmode=0" kernel parameter, or 3. blacklisting the "radeon" module followed by update-initramfs But then I only see the text mode splash. :( -- boot hangs on splash screen, doesn't switch to KDM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
