Public bug reported:

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 (no graphics drivers installed) on
an Asus F3Ka laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphics card and
then upgraded to 10.10 through Update Manager.  Everything worked fine
in 10.04 before I formatted but now whenever I boot with kernel
2.6.35-22-generic under 10.10 I get a blank screen (the screen appears
to shutoff) this even happens using Recovery Mode.  If however I boot
with kernel 2.6.32-25-generic everything boots up as normal.   If I
highlight kernel 2.6.35-22-generic under the GRUB menu, press "e",
delete "quiet splash" and enter: "radeon.modeset=0" then everything
appears to boot but it always boots to the command line.  I also tried
"sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" under kernel
2.6.35-22-generic's command line and that did not work either.  This
appears to be a compatibility issue between the graphic's card and new
kernel, is there a fix for this.  Thank you
