Mikael Thurberg, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1351479

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already
available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be
helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Purple screen flicker on black screen when starting Ubuntu 14.04 with
  amd radeon 6450 gfx card

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi there!

  I cant start Ubunutu 14.04..

  During the upstart I see the usual ubuntu loading screen (the one with
  the dots before loading x)..

  
  But I see it with purple flicker and strange "noise patterns" across the screen here and there..

  Then it continues on to the loginscreen in ubuntu but here I dont see
  anything, its black background with the same purple flicker/strange
  noise patterns here and there..

  Some times I can see the cursor displaying on this black/purple
  distortion pattern and I have one purple "square distortion pattern"
  following the cursor when I move it around.. other than that I cant
  see a thing actually so something goes wrong when loading this..

  It all worked a few days ago and then I updated ubuntu and it didnt
  worked.. Maybee it did have something to do with that I changed the
  harddrive with gfx-card to another computer with the same chipset on
  the motherboard (its only a slower cpu) because I was trying a thing
  there and then I changed it back.. if I dont remember wrong it stopped
  working there? Or if it did work and stopped working after doing the
  usual ubuntu updates.. I dont remember to be honest when it did stop
  working..

  Im not that experienced with ubuntu so I dont know what to do from
  here, help would be appriciated!

  You can write what I can try and so I can reply here with the
  results..

  right now its working everything, but I did remove the amd radeon 6450 gfx card and run on the motherboards integrated gfx-chip..
  then it loaded as usual so I suspect its something with the amd driver somehow.. but still I have no clue how to fix this.. Ive tried to run in failsafe-x mode at the grub start but with no sucess.. then its only dark with a blinking cursor up in the corner but with nothing else.. not with the purple distortion patterns anyway when I run that mode.. but nothing is loading as said..

  I have changed the hd with ubuntu from another computer back and
  forth, both motherboards have the same chip, one comupter have a
  sligthly more power cpu, the other dont, Ive changed the gfx card also
  from one computer to the other.. It worked at first doing this with no
  errors but now suddently it doesnt work on the new motherboard/cpu..

  Thankful for help anyway!
