inferrna, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/F2A55M_LK/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (6701). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-6701 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1511972 Title: Can't run free ati driver Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After switch to xserver-xorg-video-ati (I has to install it by hand - not seeing that additional drivers gui reported switching to it.) and after reboot system fall into fallback mode.
