Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
As you can see in the attached dmesg log, an error message from radeon / ttm is repeated many many times during boot (i.e. before the login screen appears). These errors flash by too fast to read them, so it looks as if the display is broken or something.
I also see some suspicious messages about remounts and some IRQ that I didn't get before Maverick, but they're probably not related directly to this radeon thing.
FWIW, I'm using the X default (i.e. no xorg.conf present) of radeon only because the new fglrx driver didn't work at all (black screen, computer hangs) any more. It was fine back in Lucid (3D acceleration and all).

Hi Kimiko,
I notice you boot with acpi=off - is there a particular reason? I wonder if that is causing some of the Radeon issues, but then I wonder if you need it to fix some other issues?
To my mind the errors that are interesting in the log are:
[ 7.333633] radeon 0000:02:00.0: PCI: Disallowing DAC for device
[ 7.333636] radeon: No suitable DMA available.
