Okay, I also get a black screen with an outlined "x" in the center trying to boot up the Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy Live CD. Tried everything and then came to ByteJuggler's fix and it worked to at least get me to a desktop. https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/67487/comments/81
Now, to see if I can get a clean install going.

I totally respect and appreciate your insight and granular intelligence on this issue with less than the latest equipment. Such high level understanding for such impoverished people. This is the truest statement of open source, indeed. If the collective can get this fixed and patched so that these issues are not dealt with in Feisty, you all deserve brand spanking new machines. Don't let the developers create a MS situation where nothing is backward compatible. That will sink the entire project. Times are really tough economically. They just raised the minimum wage here in CA but then raised the bridge toll by $1. A wash indeed. -bmw -- [regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
