2009-01-15 01:51:41 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation radeontool in Jaunty* can be used to assist in debugging this issue. After installing it, you run it like this: radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_good.txt radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_broke.txt Run it two times. Once when you have a working screen (for any driver), and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into the sick box remotely). Attach both of those to this bug report, and we can then forward this issue upstream. Thanks ahead of time! [* Note: radeontool is available in earlier versions of Ubuntu but is too old; if you need to run it on an older version of Ubuntu, you can obtain and build it from the upstream git tree at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/]
2009-01-17 09:56:13 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: xorg I've just installed Xubuntu-8.10 on a computer with an ASUS M2N motherboard, AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core BE-2400 CPU, and a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO graphics card. I had some problems with X: after booting from the installation cd, instead of starting X, the screen went blank, and after a while into stand by where it remained. I then tried the alternate install disk. Installation from that went smoothly, but when (re)booting the newly installed system, starting X failed again with the same symptom; screen in stand by. I switched to a virtual console, and after lots of trial and error I was able to make X work the following way: 1. Install the radeonhd driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd) 2. Through 'Xorg -configure' + heavy hand editing, create the xorg.conf file in the attachment. And with that it seems to work nicely. Problem solved for me. I decided to report it anyway to a) Make developers aware that the automatic X configuration tool on (X)ubuntu-8.10 has a problem with ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO cards b) Tell other users having the same problem that there's a workaround Binary package hint: xorg I've just installed Xubuntu-8.10 on a computer with an ASUS M2N motherboard, AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core BE-2400 CPU, and a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO graphics card.

2009-01-31 01:13:48 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation Hi Erik, I have to apologize, I asked you for the wrong info. Upstream tells me that radeontool output is only valid for pre-R5xx series chips. For r500 and newer, including the R600-based HD 2400 Pro, they actually need the output from avivotool. avivotool is in the radeontool package, so you already have it installed. Would you mind please re-running your two cases again, and instead collect the output from avivotool? Run it like this: avivotool regs all > avivotool_good.txt Thanks ahead of time, and sorry for the incorrect directions I gave.
