I cannot use ubuntu any more. Cannot burn to DVD (media not recognized). Despite following instructions to create USB install media from ubuntu iso file my iMac will not boot from it - message is 'no boot media found'.
I have successfully installed fedora 19 on my iMac, with two monitors connected; fedora boot image is recognized properly. With fedora 19 (kernel 3.11.6, radeon driver) the graphics find internal and external monitors but the names appear to be reversed. The internal monitor is named eDP and the external monitor is named DisplayPort-0. I can control the screens using xrandr.
The original problem is still there, if I suspend to RAM, and resume, the video only shows on the external monitor. This implies the radeon driver is reverting to DisplayPort-0, which, on my iMac, is the external monitor port.
So I would like to say this is confirmed, but I cannot confirm in ubuntu.
