Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
Installing the radeonhd package from repositroy into Hardy Alpha1+. The
package appears to install normally, but due to the lack of an X
configuration file, the driver is not loaded when the X server restarts.
Workaround: After installing the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd package
from repository in the normal manner, open a terminal window and run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
and follow the prompts. When selecting a video driver, note that
radeonhd is not presented as an option (bug filed separately) so select
vesa here and complete the process. Then, using your root permission
text editor of choice edit the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
to replace the argument "vesa" with "radeonhd" in the "Driver" line of
the device section. Save and restart the X server
<ctrl>+<alt>+<backspace> or reboot as desired.
When the machine restarts and after a normal log in, you can confirm the
radeonhd driver is loaded by examining /var/logs/Xlog.0 in a text
editor. Look about half-way through the log or search on radeonhd.
** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd (Ubuntu)
