  1002:714a Can't boot without nomodeset option-kernel 3.5.X.X/3.6.X.X
  ATI M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300]

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu quantal (development branch), since the new 3.5 kernel coming, I can't boot I don't know where is the problem, kernel or ati module, but with 3.4 kernel there is no problem booting the Ubuntu.
  When choose the 3.5 kernel from grub menu and start loading, after 10-15 seconds, just freeze, and can't do anything. I tried and mainline kernel from kernel-ppa/mainline but no change, still can't boot.

  A Ubuntu kernel version bisect revealed that 3.4.0-5.11 works and the
  first problematic kernel is 3.5.0-1.1 .

  WORKAROUND: 1. edit grub command line to add 'nomodeset' and boot.

  2. Then add 'nomodeset' in GRUB2's kernel command line (using
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub) and run 'sudo update-grub'

  3. Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
  modprobe -r radeon
  modprobe -r drm
  modprobe radeon modeset=1

  4. Remove ~/.Xauthority

  5. Reboot

  WORKAROUND: Use kernel parameter:
  nomodeset

  However, with nomodeset, 3D don't work correctly, cant use normal
  unity session, unity 2D session works but with artifacts.
