[Bug 1437723] [NEW] X does not start/function with systemd but works with upstart

 

Public bug reported:

Am trying out the beta 15.04. Approximately since the switch from
upstart to systemd,  am getting a cluttered X display with systemd so
that am unable to log in or do anything with Proprietary drivers of AMD.

With open source drivers am just able to log in but still am unable to
do much work with a cluttered and bad display.

Booting with upstart the proprietary drivers seem to work perfectly.

Am willing to do testing

Am using an AMD/ATI R7 260x display card and an ultrawide 2520 X 1080
monitor.

with systemd am unable to log into the terminal either. Have to hard
reset. ctrl+alt+del does not work.
