My adapter is: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
My problem description is the following: After Grub finishes I see "Starting..." string on the black screen, and the font of the string changes. But right after that the screen becomes completely black and I get a large underscore cursor blinking on the top left corner of the screen. This black screen with cursor stays there for about 3 minutes (Feisty boots much faster on the same machine, I don't understand), and right after that (i.e. after X loads) I can see the famous Ubuntu login screen with brown background. Thereafter, I don't have any problems. This has been the case since fresh install. Since my problem occurs before X loads and after that everything is fine, I wasn't too hopeful that new Xserver driver would solve my problem. But I've installed the latest driver from Tormod's page: xserver-xorg-video-ati - 1:6.7.195+git20071026-0ubuntu0tv Since it did not solve my problem, I've also added the following lines to xorg.conf later on: Option "LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false" Option "DRI" "off" Nothing changed. Since I don't have any problem after X loads, my situation is not so bad. But any suggestions are welcome. -- ATI Driver Gets Black Screen on Radeon 7500 Mobile (Regression) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132716 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
