Some background: 5xxx GPUs booted daily lives just fine still after Alpha 1. Afaik, this bug occured before Alpha 2.
I have 5770 which worked with Alpha 1 and later images. Plymouth worked and desktop loaded with resolution 800x600 without any boot parameter tweaking (nomodeset, radeon.modeset=0). I tried to find Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 images and/or builds between them in order to address this bug more specifically. Unfortunately I haven't found any Alpha images so far. Beta 1 & 2 (32 and 64 bit versions) just give me a black screen (signal gets lost) when Plymouth is done and desktop should be shown. Removing "quiet splash" from kernel boot parameters doesn't help. Nomodeset and/or radeon.modeset=0 have no effect on my computer. I've tried installation using USB disk and CD-RW. My setup: CPU: Intel i5-750 2,66 GHz MOBO: Asus P7P55D GPU: Asus Ati 5770 1 GB - model EAH5770/2DIS/1GD5/V2 MEM: Kingston 1333D3N9K2, 2x 2 GB HD: Samsung F3 1 TB PSU: Corsair 400 W DISPLAY: NEX T4211N, 42" Full HD - connection between this and 5770 is through DVI Just bump if you need more specific HW details. -- [lucid] ATI hd5xxx cards wrongly doing kms? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
