As can be read in the bug description, this bug is only about AGP cards. Please don't mix up diagnosis with symptoms: a black screen can have very many reasons, which are not the same bug. We need to pinpoint each of these reasons in order to fix them, and this must be done in separate bug reports.
With the risk of repeating myself, I would like to encourage as many as possible to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/AtiDriver before posting more here. -- [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
