G'day,
I believe I am experiencing this same problem so many years later. My
install is Hardy Heron, amd64. I have rebuilt most of the system without
replacing the video card. Before the rebuild and under 32-bit gutsy the
card appeared to function correctly. After the rebuild and under 64-bit
hardy I get nowhere.
From lspci:
04:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]
(rev 01)
04:01.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]
(Secondary) (rev 01)
More detailed output attached.
It's hard to get diagnostics out as the console is inaccessible from the
moment gdm starts. I cannot change back to a text console. Caps-lock is
non-responsive. From a remote machine I have managed to log in and
observe X sitting at 100% load on one of my cores, and the machine runs
slowly.
I have tried adding Option DefaultConnectorTable on, hoping this was
a dupe of Bug 157408. My current workaround is to add Driver vesa to
the Device section of xorg.conf.
I can supply more details if required.
Benjamin.
