xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu1 causes blank screen

[Curtis Lee Bolin]

xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu1 causes blank screen without any errors in xorg log. 1:6.7.194-1ubuntu1 had no problems.

My hardware:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]

If you have any questions, I would be happy to give any needed information.

Thank You For Your Time

I am having the same problem. Same hardware. As soon as system boots screen goes blank.

I did find some errors in Xorg.0.log. These are not found when using xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.194.

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM

(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

curtlee2002: do you have a log with .194 for comparison? ('grep wrapper /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old' if not sure)

[Curtis Lee Bolin (curtisleebolin)]

Sorry, I do not have a log for .194. I tried to startx to many times. If you could tell me how to get .194, I would gladly re-install it and post its log. I am new to ubuntu, but I have been using gentoo for about 5 years. I would be glad you to help.

I ran:
wget http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.194-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.194-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

Now I have a log for .194

Hi guys,
I have a Dell Latitude C640 with an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphic card.
I'm experiencing problems with the last update of the ati driver: when X starts, gdm login screen is very corrupted...it seems that the monitor is out-of-sync. I just tried to lower the screen resolution down to 1024x768 without success.
This is a regression since i had no problems at all with 1:6.7.194-1ubuntu1
Timo, I will test your package as soon as possible!

[little jo (littel-jo)]
