I have a (Club 3d) ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 128MB (in an old Dell Optiplex GX1 with 384MB so PCI was the only option). Am running feisty with xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.6.3 installed. Same problem. vesa driver works OK. ati driver gives the black screen and console freeze every time I try. If I disable ¨dri¨ in xorg.conf then I can use the ati driver but then I guess thats almost the same as vesa. So not good performance of any kind since it is not direct to the Radeon 9250 card. Have attached the xorg,cong that I am using which has ¨dri¨ disabled. I did look at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log and really did not see any errors when I had the back screen.
PS I did try fglrx but was not successful due to version incompatibilities. (Could not really install the last ATI Radeon driver 8.28.8 that works for the 9250 in feisty - the new ATI Radeon driver is too new for the 9250). Ended up re-installing feisty to get back to where I am now. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7610088/xorg.conf -- [regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67487 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
