Darxus, this could be a non-kernel related driver issue. I'll set the
package to xorg, which will get this looked at by the appropriate driver
maintainer, so they may better judge this.
** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
** Description changed:
Radeon driver works fine in Oneric, but in Precise it boots to a
flickering dark purple screen - completely unusable. Or safe mode boots
using the vesa driver.
Also tested:
3.4.0-030400rc1-generic #201203312035 SMP Sun Apr 1 00:36:22 UTC 2012 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
linux-image-3.3.0-030300-generic 3.3.0-030300.201203182135 Linux kernel image
for version 3.3.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
+
+ Tried booting Oneiric kernel in Precise, did not fix the problem.
$ lspci | grep -i vga
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Barts
XT [ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series]
WORKAROUND: Removing the "setgfxpayload..." line in grub allowed the
radeon driver to work.
WORKAROUND: Removed vt.handoff and replace:
set gfxpayload=text
with:
set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode
