Comment 0 for bug 1310064

After the upgrade, the computer crashed at the login screen where it froze. I could not switch to a VT, login via SSH, or safer reboot via the magic keys: RESIUB.

Anyway - after a hard reboot, I noticed the graphics setup had changed. I have a dual monitor setup that with a 22" 1920x1080 TV and 17" 1280x1024 monitor. For some reason the 1920x1080 display likes to use an odd resolution (1776x1000) for some signals like the one the RV770 was pumping out cloned for both monitors of 1280x1024. That's even though the xorg.conf explicitly stated dual monitor setup. At some point after upgrade to 14.04 and before my second attempt to run Xorg, the original xorg.conf file was renamed (and not replaced) with the date added on the end.

The second run of Xorg: The graphic output looked the same with cloned 1280x1024. I noticed that even though I restored my xorg.conf file, it proceeded to unload radeon driver and load FBDEV with LLVM pipe.

I see no obvious reason from the log files while radeon was unloaded and not used for this card which is on it's support list.

??

Thanks much.
