Arthur, set the AGP speed in BIOS to 4X, or set the 8X option in xorg.conf. If this does not fix it, it is not so sure it is the same bug.
Kyle, I understand your new package turns off FastWrite, but it doesn't do anything about the AGP speed? My test package from comment #162 had also some AGP speed patches incorporated. -- [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
