I have a Radeon 7000 (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA])) and after upgrading from Feisty tu Gutsy I got a blank screen. I tried the latest git snapshot, switching modes with xrandr, with or without LVDSBiosNativeMode, using the default generic kernel instead of custom recompiled, nothing, my LCD screen still complains "no signal".
The same thing happened when I upgraded from openSuse 10.2 to 10.3, ironically that was the reason I switched to Kubuntu.

I noticed that now I don't get the message "agpgart: Device is in legacy mode, falling back to 1.x", while I've always had that in the past.
