Looks like something is wrong with the kernel DRM. We're likely to pull in the 2.6.33 DRM which may well fix this. You can test it by installing one of the mainline kernel builds.
Meanwhile, popping this over to the kernel team. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg I have been running Lucid for about three weeks. Roughly five days ago, on a reboot, X did not start properly, and I was presented with a recovery screen, which allowed me to use a low-graphics mode for that session only. However, it turns out that X starts perfectly roughly three out of every four boots. I have no idea what might be causing this intermittent behavior. I doubt it is a hardware problem - I have been using this machine continuously with no problems for about a year. The xorg log attached automatically by ubuntu-bug shows what happens when I am thrown into low-graphics mode. The 'old' xorg log attached by ubuntu-bug is from my previous boot - it shows a successful startup. Please let me know what additional information I might supply to help troubleshoot this odd (at least to me!) problem. In case it is helpful, I have attached the section of my syslog from this startup. Also starting about five days ago, I lose all video during the boot - for a length of time my monitor displays 'no signal'. So, for example, if a fsck is run during the boot, I have no idea what is happening, as there is no video output during that stage of boot. + (II) [drm] DRM interface version 1.0 + (EE) [drm] Could not set DRM device bus ID. + (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM + [dri] Disabling DRI. + (EE) RADEON(0): Kernel modesetting setup failed + (II) UnloadModule: "radeon" + (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. + + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Feb 12 22:15:25 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 DkmsStatus: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory InstallationMedia: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/installer/media-info' MachineType: ECS A780GM-A Package: xorg 1:7.5+1ubuntu2 ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-13-generic root=/dev/mapper/new--lvm-root ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-13.18-generic RelatedPackageVersions: - xserver-xorg 1:7.5+1ubuntu2 - libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7-0ubuntu8 - libdrm2 2.4.17-0ubuntu2 - xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1ubuntu4 + xserver-xorg 1:7.5+1ubuntu2 + libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7-0ubuntu8 + libdrm2 2.4.17-0ubuntu2 + xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1ubuntu4 SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display Uname: Linux 2.6.32-13-generic i686 dmi.bios.date: 05/20/2008 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 080014 dmi.board.name: A780GM-A dmi.board.vendor: ECS dmi.board.version: 1.0 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: ECS dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr080014:bd05/20/2008:svnECS:pnA780GM-A:pvr1.0:rvnECS:rnA780GM-A:rvr1.0:cvnECS:ct3:cvr: dmi.product.name: A780GM-A dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: ECS system: - distro: Ubuntu - architecture: i686kernel: 2.6.32-13-generic + distro: Ubuntu + architecture: i686kernel: 2.6.32-13-generic ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: xorg-needs-kernel-fix -- [lucid] HD3200 intermittently does not start, resulting in low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
