[Bug 745639] [NEW] Xorg freezes with KMS, uses vesa without KMS

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When starting the unity desktop for the first time, it locked up just
displaying the desktop background. As I had to use the nomodeset option
in Ubuntu 10.10 for glxgears to display anything, I also added this
option to the grub configuration file. Then the desktop came up, but
fell back to the non-compiz desktop. This has to do with the vesa driver
in use, according to compiz-check. In this state I am reporting this
bug.

More testing I have done is specifying the radeon driver in xorg.conf,
but then compiz-check says the software-rasterizer is in use.
