Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci
Kernel modules: fglrx, radeon
Part of the problem is that the video card does store video mode
information across boots. For instance, I do see some changes in the
video mode used if I boot into Ubuntu+FGLRX after using the
Debian+radeon during the previous boot. I attached a screenshot here
showing this different console mode after using radeon, with no changes
to my ubuntu configuration or grub.
Sometimes I also see one instance of the proper shutdown screen (with
graphical logo) after previously booting into radeon as well. Attached
is what my console looks like after previous boot into radeon. I note
that Ubuntu does not have a "setting console mode" process on boot like
debian does which creates nice consistent good looking fonts and sizes
for its console no matter the video driver being used, or the previous
mode used.
My point in sharing these observations is to make it clear to others
that this bug, as Martin noted, is not the video mode used on the
console, but the use of a non-graphical console mode on boot and
shutdown instead of the Ubuntu logo and "progress dots" we are used to
seeing when using FGLRX.
