I have tried a clean install of ubuntu amd64 on an 2009 (early 2010?)
imac 27" with ATI/Radeon graphics. Install works fine, but there is no
way I can get X running. A default boot gets some of the way, then
presents a blank screen, which I can't get past (the OS still appears to
be running though) I have tried the nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 kernel
options, but there is no failsafeX in the recovery menu anymore, which
got me through last time. I have tried dropping into a shell to install
the fglrx drivers via jockey-text, but this doesn't seem to work either.
