Steven Brown, as per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2AVM/#support an update is available for your BIOS (2302). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: radeon rs690 x1200 ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2302 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993802 Title: PAE and radeon integrated rs690 (x1200) prevents dri Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Bug description: 3D acceleration doesn't seem to work on the PAE kernel (which Ubuntu has made the default in my grub menu). The screen goes black (signal lost) after leaving grub, and only comes back with the login menu. If I use the non-PAE kernel, same version and everything, it seems to work. I've provided snippets of dmesg and xorg logs of both.
