This might finally be fixed in the upstream 3.10 kernel by commit e49f3959a96dc279860af7e86e6dbcfda50580a5 and in the 3.9.6 kernel by commit e335ccae2ae4caef26a1e81711c44aec1cc83bd2
The Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" kernel is now based on the upstream 3.9.6 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578735 Title: X does not start (hangs) with ATI radeon in Lucid Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg I upgraded a working karmic machine to lucid, and now during boot, the splash remains and X never comes up. I tried with no xorg.conf file at all, same thing. From an ssh session I tried X -configure, and the same thing is happening: X just hangs while trying to start. Pressing Ctrl+C says xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call Not sure what this means though. The videocard is ATI Technologies Inc RV515 [Radeon X1300], and it was using radeon driver, back when it was working ( in fact I still have the Xorg.log from before the lucid upgrade: http://www.davidfaure.fr/2010/Xorg.0.log.ok.before.lucid ) No idea what it's doing now, since it hangs almost right away, even in failsafe mode. So I suppose this isn't video-driver related...
