Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
This has happened immediately after I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. Kernel 2.6.38
is not booting and shows junk on the screen.
I tried a USB pendrive (USB pendrive works with Ubuntu 10.10) and I get a black
screen.
After grub has disappeared the system starts booting, and after some seconds I
get a screen screwed up. Cannot switch to virtual terminals and cannot connect
via ssh.
With the USB pendrive more or less the same happens. After I click start,
nothing else appears on the screen and the boot procedure stops.
The only way I found to get both systems start is to add nomodeset parameter.
With this the system starts.
The same system starts with kernel 2.6.35 without the nomodeset parameter.
Anyway, since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, I'm experiencing some sudden logouts
and frequent complete screen freeze when in dual screen.
The Ubuntu kernel team suggested to try kernel 2.6.39-020639rc7-generic.
This is working correctly it seems.
