Public bug reported:
ATI Radeon 9600XT card ,Was running Gutsy using the ati proprietary 8.443
drivers. had 3d acceln, and was able to invoke compiz desktop effects.
After successful Hardy (8.04) upgrade the first reboot gave me the low
graphics mode screen and after continuing i was stuck in 800X600 resolution and
vesa driver
I tried upgrading to the latest(8.4) ati driver - no change
I tried downgrading to an earlier ati driver - no change
I removed the ati sourced drivers and loaded the xorg-driver-fglrx. On first
reboot after this installation, the fglrx driver loaded correctly, Direct
rendering working, but unable to enable desktop effects.... however on shutting
down and rebooting again the system reverted back to low graphics and vesa
driver ( xorg.conf.failsafe), and stayed there on subsequent reboots.
I have reverted to the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, and cleaned up all the
fglrx modules etc using dkms, and retried the xorg-driver-fglrx package with
the same result as above- first reboot = eureka, next and subsequent reboots
result in low graphics and vesa driver.
I currently dont have an Xorg.0.log file from a "vesa" reboot, but could
generate one if that would assist.
this is my xorg.conf
