[Bug 273510] Re: [RV610] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install
radeontool in Jaunty* can be used to assist in debugging this issue. After installing it, you run it like this: radeontool regmatch '*' regdump_good.txt radeontool regmatch '*' regdump_broke.txt Run it two times. Once when you have a working screen (for any driver), and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into the sick box remotely). Attach both of those to this bug report, and we can then forward this issue upstream. Thanks ahead of time! For more info see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [* Note: radeontool is available in earlier versions of Ubuntu but is too old; if you need to run it on an older version of Ubuntu, you can obtain and build it from the upstream git tree at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/] -- [RV610] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 273510] Re: [RV610] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install
I had the same issue with a dell desktop machine containing an ATI rv610 graphics card. If found that I could get the xserver working by going to the console and editing the xorg.conf file to explicitly set the driver to radeonhd instead of the default radeon. I do not know why the radeon driver is setting the screen into standby, the xorg logfile looks normal in both cases. so short version, radeonhd works, radeon doesn't. -- [RV610] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm getting this issue with Xubuntu Jaunty Alpha 2 alternate cd. Install is fine, iBook reboots, goes through yaboot, then a corrupted screen (half white, half black), no gdm, no sound, no keyboard response. -- [RV610] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It could be, that the connector table of your card is broken. Could everyone, who gets a black screen please try to set the HDP option as described in section 10.5. My monitor isn't detected in [1] ? Unfortunately there are two drivers for your graphics chip, one is called radeonhd, the other one is called radeon. Please test for both drivers and report back here. Thanks!
