Comment 0 for bug 825777

Hello,

I have an ASUS K53TA laptop, it works fine with Natty except that the Catalyst driver is required for 3d capability. However, every Oneiric build I've tried, the display won't turn on. I can hear the login music playing, so I'm sure that it has booted successfully, but the display won't turn on, not even the backlight.

I've tried various key and touchpad combinations to wake the display up, and I've also tried CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ+k, but nothing worked.

I've heard the same from others owning different hardware with AMD Llano CPU/GPU as well, I don't believe this is specific to this particular laptop.
