With 'nomodeset' I still get the garbled screen (and indeed tiny pixels whenever I type something) due an issue in Plymouth, but can fix it by using alt-sysreq-k.
Without 'nomodeset' I'm getting all vertical lines and cannot use my system. Can not get past that with alt-sysreq-k or ctrl-alt-backspace. Every once in a while it actually boots ok without the 'nomodeset' and then Plymouth works ok too, but at the moment I feel this is getting less frequent. Because I can't reproduce the behaviour without 'nomodeset' right or wrong, I feel there is some issue to do with timing or a race condition somewhere between the kernel and the radeon driver. But I'm not a dev. Updating Lucid twice a day. I'm not trying daily cd's unless I can't get into my system even by booting into rescue mode. cheers Tom Lollerke wrote: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532308 > "I installed almost all recent kernel packages in koji. 2.6.31.5-91.rc1 is the > lastest stable X200M/KMS kernel. 2.6.31.5-96 is the first buggy kernel." > > Any decision about this serious regression/bug?
