Comment 3 for bug 631933

Hi Kurt!

I started the computer without the usplash according to your instructions. It's still freezing during boot... for a while that is. While I was attaching it to the wired network and logging in through ssh from another computer it all of a sudden unlocked and I was prompted with a standard headless (no gui/X) log in view.

The timeout could have been about a minute or so. And the output on the screen looks something like:

Sep 8 20:41:42 tm6592 kernel: [ 3.429628] uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x34f, err=0). Trying again with default timings.

+ a few more lines similar to the last one that I couldn't find in any log file, followed by the standard text mode log in prompt.

I entered my username and password and after that I entered "startx". When doing so, it says:

(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.
