Title:
Radeon won't work with KMS enabled
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a Radeon HD 5770 GPU. After upgrading to Xenial today and
ensuring the xorg radeon driver was enabled, my machine will no longer
boot to a usable state. After selecting default Ubuntu option from
GRUB menu, both monitor lose signal input and the keyboard becomes
unresponsive. Sometimes the machine will reboot on its own, most of
the time I have to hard reset.
WORKAROUND: Use one of the following kernel parameters:
nomodeset
radeon.modeset=0
The machine will boot but the radeon driver will not load. Attempting
to load radeon driver with `sudo modprobe radeon modeset=1` after
booting with modesetting off results in the same fail state explained
above.
