2012-07-16 17:19:57 Peter T Hayward description Running 12.10, updated today, on iMac 11,2 (mid 2010) with AMD Radeon 4670. Using kernel radeon driver (lsmod shows it running). Normal boot results in black screen. Ctl-Alt-Del reboots; indicating that system did boot. If I place 'nomodeset' on kernel command line, main screen can be seen and unity desktop runs normally. This appears to be a regression in the kernel, similar to bug 597070 (ubuntu 11.04 - used fglrx to get video to work) and to bug 863969 (ubuntu 11.10 - where an upgrade to the 3.2 kernel seemed to improve video detection). Suspend and resume does not work either, not turning off the system, only the video, and resuming to a black screen. I think the problem is in KMS, because the black screen happens even if I boot into text mode and using nomodeset fixes it. Hence filing this against xorg but expect it to go to kernel developers.
