On a fresh install today from the precise desktop cd I tried to turn on KMS with radeon.modeset=1. This brought me to a running in low graphics mode message.
It is because of a race issue described in the KMS wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting . I have the "RADEONDRIGetVersion failed" message in the Xorg.0.log. It used to be the case that you would end up at a terminal becuase of this. This is why I am requesting KMS on by default for radeon cards. On kernels where KMS is on (lucid, debian sid) you don't have this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949288 Title: Build in ATI/radeon framebuffers on PowerPC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/949288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
