Problem with xserver-xorg-video-ati at boot ubuntu.

[mangelasakis]

I am having a problem with the open source driver of my graphics card ATI. When you start ubuntu hang the computer on the logo of ubuntu and does not start until a hard reset. After the hard reset boot properly. With the proprietary driver of ATI graphics card I do not see any problem with the boot but the computer creeps slightly.

i have the same problem with the IGP 4290HD

Here and 2 days after I did a clean install from the start ubuntu 11.04 amd64, do not start at all ubuntu only in low graphic mode. I do all the upgrades and the problem remains. If I install the proprietary driver of my graphics card then start normally but the computer is crawling. With ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 I had no problem.

I am very disappointed with this problem. I will probably go back to ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 if not corrected this problem. I hope there is no problem in ubuntu 11.10.

Hey mangelasakis,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

this bug was solved on oneiric. Thank you...
