Steven Brown, as per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2AVM/#support an
update is available for your BIOS (2302). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Bug description:
  3D acceleration doesn't seem to work on the PAE kernel (which Ubuntu
  has made the default in my grub menu).  The screen goes black (signal
  lost) after leaving grub, and only comes back with the login menu.  If
  I use the non-PAE kernel, same version and everything, it seems to
  work.  I've provided snippets of dmesg and xorg logs of both.
  Significant differences, I've noticed:

  PAE Xorg.0.log:
  [    25.741] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working, using shadowfb for KMS
  [    25.750] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: disabled

  PAE: [    25.741] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working,
  using shadowfb for KMS

  PAE: [    26.682] (II) RADEON(0): mem size init: gart size :1fdff000
  vram size: s:40000000 visible:f7d7000

  non-PAE: [    22.066] (II) RADEON(0): mem size init: gart size
  :1fdff000 vram size: s:40000000 visible:3f7d7000

  (an extra digit included?)

  
  and PAE dmesg:
