Hi Christopher-
I was actually still running Ubuntu 12.04. It was last July.
When I did last summer's firmware update for Linux kernel drivers I got a black
screen. It would not roll back to a previous version.
==========
I then tried the 14.04 as a fresh install and only got snow with my dual
Radeon HD 6570. My motherboard is Asus M5A97 R2.0 AMD 970 ATX MB.
Clearly this is itself a major bug. It is uncomplicated. It does not work.
==========
A black hole problem like these yields little post crash info.
Unfortunately, I migrated to Xubuntu due to lack of response to this
issue, which occurred occurred a year ago. I still hold back the firmware for
Linux kernel drivers update on this system, which update precipitated the
problem.
I became extremely agitated and made a fairly incoherent bug report.
But I do hope someone figures it out before I have to migrate to another
distro entirely ,
Sincerely.
Glenn J Tison

xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty conflicts Radeon HD 6570
All in Ubnuntu 12.04LTS I did the hardware update 'strongly
recomended' and the upgrade deleted my radeon drivers. I got an
unstable sparkely screen and had to return to a previous ubuntu
version to fix.
I had Bug #1342377, but succeded in loading the radeon module, amd-
catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6, which worked fine till I
updated, then I got no video at all: That's the new bug
The Update loaded the xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty, the core server as
well as xserver-comon-lts-trusty, various c library functions and Grub
updates. It had a warning that it was a partial update.
There was no reference to this in ubuntu forums., or
I have an Asus M5A97R2.0 motherboard with 2 Radeon HD 6570 with 2gig
of memory each running a syntax display at 1250x720 via a vga cable.
It has a dvi port, but I have never bothered to update that hardware.
The system is about 10 months old except for the monitor, which is
12, I think.
I also tried to run the xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso, but got no
video from the live cd at all. That'd likely be the same video
conflict in the next version X windows.
