Hi all,
I tested the latest amd64 MATE daily iso.
On all Intel graphics systems there was no issue, but on my AMD/ATI PC
there was.
I had to explicitly set nomodeset on boot in order to get it running.
Without that KMS kicks in and the system freezes up.
The system has this card:
01:00.0 VGA
A quick followup on this, testing on my 2nd ATI/AMD system:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]
In this case KMS also kicks in, but now the FOSS driver is being used it
seems, all is well.
