Title:
  1002:954f [ASRock ALiveNF7G-GLAN] Boot-up typically opens to blank
  gray greeter screen

Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sometimes it boots to a blank gray greeter screen. I can type my
  password blindly and get in to the GDM, usually. But sometimes I can't
  -- because I can't see the underlying screens and have to guess what
  field I'm typing into, etc.

  WORKAROUND: I can go to a console via Ctr+{[1-6]}  and restart the GDM
  and then the greeter screen is normal and I can log in normally.
