Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I have upgraded an IBM T41 laptop from UNR 10.04 to 10.10 beta. Upgrade ran fine. After rebooting, I see the splash screen, and eventually the screen goes white. It does this over a few transitions, most likely in the time between X starting and having the desktop loading (I have auto logon enabled). Once it is all white, I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to the terminal. Since then I have disabled auto login but same result. I have also removed Unity (I use UNR and the T41 doesn't have a 3d graphics card), and have the same white screen. Only after removing xserver-xorg-video-radeon, can I get to the Ubuntu Desktop (in 16 colour glory). Since then, the forums have helped me and it's been resolved by changing radeon.modeset from 1 to 0 in the boot - works fine now. Note: T41 has an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphics card.
