Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
after a fresh install of Gutsy-Gibbon, i choose to enable the ATI accelerated
graphics driver, and ended up with a black screen of death after a restart.
So, there is a problem with the ATI restricted driver on my video card, the X700
#:~$ lspci | grep "ATI"
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X700
(PCIE)
and it should probably not have been showed in the restricted drivers manager.
Cleaning up the xorg.conf file and uninstalling xserver-xorg-video-ati
and xserver-xorg-video-ati did work, and will now install the mesa
drivers, libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri.
i didn't get an error, and can't find any relevant info in my Xorg logs,
but j f y i
