I had the same issue with a dell desktop machine containing an ATI rv610 graphics card. If found that I could get the xserver working by going to the console and editing the xorg.conf file to explicitly set the driver to "radeonhd" instead of the default "radeon". I do not know why the radeon driver is setting the screen into standby, the xorg logfile looks normal in both cases.
so short version, radeonhd works, radeon doesn't. -- [RV610] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
