[Bug 1568429] Re: 1002:68b8 Radeon won't work with KMS enabled
Good news: I have a had a small eureka moment that results my computer fully booted with graphics hardware fully accelerated. Bad news: it is still a workaround -- I still can't push power button and boot up normally. Here is the workaround sequence -- it requires another computer that can ssh in: 1. Computer in OFF state, press power. 2. At boot select screen, press `e` and edit kernel line by appending `modprobe.blacklist=radeon` 3. Press `F10` to boot 4. At login screen, click gear icon in upper right and select `Suspend` 5. After computer is in suspended state, press any key to awaken. 6. The display does not "reawaken" and still appears off. 7. From another computer, ssh into the first. 8. Issue `sudo service lightdm stop` 9. Issue `sudo modprobe radeon`. This should succeed! \o/ 10. Issue `sudo service lightdm start` Now the computer should be using correct drm drivers and have full resolution display. Furthermore, Suspend and Wake work successfully. I discovered this using ubuntu mainline kernel 4.8.0-rc5 but have verified it works with mainline 4.8.6 and also with 4.4.0-45. Unfortunately, I am also using the oibaf/graphics-drivers PPA with more recent mesa and libdrm drivers. I plan to test again after removing the PPA but it may take a while. If anyone with this problem is still watching, I'd be curious to hear if my workaround steps work for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568429 Title: 1002:68b8 Radeon won't work with KMS enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1568429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm still unable to boot following the linked directions by removing the vt_handoff, quiet, and splash kernel params and also setting gfxmode to "text". It follows nearly the same behavior black screen, constant hdd activity light on -- the monitor however still detects an input signal, it's just black. I can boot by using the linked method but also supplying radeon.modeset=0 flag. I'm attaching the dmesg log from that boot up. I'm assuming dmesg output is the "missing information" requested.

Is there anything more I can do to help debug this? In my latest attempt to get any useful information, I removed my usb keyboard in favor of a ps2 one. On boot and subsequent fail, the caps lock and scroll lock flash 10 times. I thought maybe getting a serial console going would help but this computer doesn't have a db9/rs232 port and it appears to be failing before the USB subsystem is initialized so USB serial console appears to be a no-go.

[Bug 1568429] Re: Radeon won't work with KMS enabled
Yes, Catalyst has been the only driver that has been working for me so far. I don't believe the radeon driver was working before either, I remember having a similar problem when I upgraded to 15.10. Thanks for the debugging tip. However it didn't work. Immediately after running the modprobe command the screens go blank, lose signal input, and then after about 5 seconds the machine reboots. After logging in again, I found that dmesg didn't have a chance to pipe its output to the file either.

[Bug 1568429] [NEW] Radeon won't work with KMS enabled
Public bug reported: 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. If I add `nomodeset` or `radeon.modeset=0` to kernel line in GRUB, 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.
