X fails to start on Radeon HD 2400 Mobility (Ubuntu 8.10 RC)
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to install Kubuntu 8.10 like this:
1. Insert the Kubuntu8.10 cd
2. choose the Install Kubuntu option
3. X failed to start and send me to the shell
4. Solved the bug reported here using the solution provided by Tromod Volden
5. Sucessfully started x using startx command
So this seems like something that would be ideal to get into an SRU, but
figuring out the minimal patch to fix the package seems non-trivial:
remus:~/src evan$ debdiff
xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2.1.dsc
xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.10.0-1ubuntu1.dsc | diffstat | tail
Hi!
Tormod: Your backported radeonhd driver fixes the issue for me. Thank
you!
(I had the same / a similar problem of 8.04 working but 8.10 not w/ my
Radeon HD 2600 (RV630PRO) connected to dual DVI dislpays. Neither
radeonhd nor fglrx worked for me, both kind of crashed at Xorg start.)
Thanks!
Florian: I was under the impression that the stock radeonhd driver
would also resolve the issue.
I've been advocating for an updated radeon driver so that we continue to
travel in the direction of the code base that is regarded as canon.
(I still have the action item to try the back-ported
Ok, Here is what I did:
Booted the Intrepid Live CD.
Watched as X failed to configure. (See Xorg.0.log output attached above.)
Hit ctrlaltf1 to get a TTY
Logged in, Configured the Network by hand (cuz I'm not registered for DHCP).

Hi William,
Well, if nothing else you can just grab the source package for xserver-
xorg-video-ati and build it against the Intrepid xserver to produce the
debs you need.
I'm subscribing tormod to this bug; he may be willing to help you in
doing this.
Thanks for testing that the problem no

Wow! Thank you very much Tormod! We'll test with the newer ATI driver and see
if it fixes
the problem for us.

So a few days have gone by with no further comments. I think the correct way to
address this problem
is to take a more recent epoch of the upstream, open source ATI driver.
Can someone point me to the relevant information so that I can begin making
this happen, if not for everyone using
Bryce Harrington:
I went to the xorg-edgers archive.
There were no ATI driver updates labeled Intrepid. In fact the stuff there was
almost exclusively jaunty and hardy.
I'm PRETTY sure this is nothing more than getting a little more recent
upstream version of the radeon driver. Red Hat

Often the Xorg Edgers site will have newer drivers -

However, the nature of this bug sort of sounds like it might need
something more than just -ati to fix, so testing against Jaunty really
would be the most desirable. Then, if the issue still

I burned a Jaunty Alpha DVD from from the 13-Jan-2009 snapshot, booted
it, and it came up just fine. I'm typing this comment on that system.
Attached is the Xorg.0.log file of the successful run. (Just in case
someone wants it.) It shows that the Radeon HD 2400 XT chip is correctly
detected,
Using the Intrepid Live CD, I booted, and indeed the X server does not come up.
A temporary kludge is to add the line:
Driver vesa
to the Device section.
I have attached the Xorg.0.log file of the failed start-up under
Intrepid to this comment.
** Attachment added: Failed
Now have Xorg.0.log output for identical hardware with Success under
Jaunty Alpha and Failure under Intrepid.

ajw107: If I understand how upstream is going, the radeon-hd driver
replacement may
solve your problem for now, but will not be the stable long term solution.
I believe the world is trying to get all the latest and greatest stuff
into the radeon code base.

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro p200 with the same graphics card, and I
too can not get x server to start. Looking at xorg.0.log (attached) it
does warn that the R600 chip set support is experimental, direct
rendering is disabled, hardware acceleration is disables, some other
vendor specific
Minutes after I posted, and after a whole night of looking last night, I
eventually found the answer.
1) download the radeonhd driver to a usb drive:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
2) boot to the command line (like you have a choice) and mount the drive:
mkdir
Hi,
Little update :
I tried the 8.10 final release today, and this bug affects it too in the same
manner.
(probably not so surprising since it hasn't been fixed yet).
