[Bug 355495] Re: Jaunty: Display doesnt work for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

 

Hi Leo. Thanks for helping me... Let me tell my whole story,lol... I was
using jaunty and yesterday trying to make my resolution output to
1360x768 so i could better use my lcd tv.

Then, for other reasons,  I enabled proposal updates and did an
update... So when I restarted gdm it crashed. At that time I had not
read the threads explaining the bug, so i thought it had to do with
missconfiguring xorg... After restoring previous config I saw the
problem was not my 1360 modlines.

I them did a upgrade to karmic, thinking this would solve my problem
with the new kernel version. It did not... Them, through lynx I saw the
reports on this bug and purged fglxr. So i could access my desktop
again.

Trying to reinstall the drivers through apt repeated the crash. Today I
entered in ADM website, downloaded and installed  Catalyst 9.6, but I
did not choose the build package option (I wonder if it makes any
difference), instead the direct install again the bug returned...

 So I found this thread and tried what you suggested (removed amdpcsdb,
and the three aticonfig lines). Then I crashed with the gray box added
bellow the two ghost ubuntu logos...

So here I am now using ati free driver.

Is just me now? or anyone else with this bug? Should I file a bug in
karmic package?
