Comment 14 for bug 863969

Further to my last comment:
I can boot with 3.5 kernel (now 3.5.0-3-generic) as long as I boot with 'nomodeset' in kernel params.
I am running with the radeon driver included with the kernel. Using the fglrx driver just gave a black screen, as did the proprietary ATI driver.
If I do this I can also suspend and resume back on the same screen, but suspend seems to be only partial; I can hear the disk still running and the case doesn't cool, but the screen goes black.
This seems to indicate a kms regression related to the bug that was once fixed in 3.2.0.10.10 (See #11 above).
