Peter T Hayward, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this. Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: Running 12.10, updated today, on iMac 11,2 (mid 2010) with AMD Radeon 4670. - Using kernel radeon driver (lsmod shows it running). - Normal boot results in black screen. Ctl-Alt-Del reboots; indicating that system did boot. - If I place 'nomodeset' on kernel command line, main screen can be seen and unity desktop runs normally. + Using kernel radeon driver (lsmod shows it running). Normal boot results in black screen. Ctl-Alt-Del reboots; indicating that system did boot. This appears to be a regression in the kernel, similar to bug 597070 (ubuntu 11.04 - used fglrx to get video to work) and to bug 863969 (ubuntu 11.10 - where an upgrade to the 3.2 kernel seemed to improve video detection). Suspend and resume does not work either, not turning off the system, only the video, and resuming to a black screen. I think the problem is in KMS, because the black screen happens even if I boot into text mode and using nomodeset fixes it. Hence filing this against xorg but expect it to go to kernel developers. - This appears to be a regression in the kernel, similar to bug 597070 (ubuntu 11.04 - used fglrx to get video to work) and to bug 863969 (ubuntu 11.10 - where an upgrade to the 3.2 kernel seemed to improve video detection). - Suspend and resume does not work either, not turning off the system, only the video, and resuming to a black screen. - - I think the problem is in KMS, because the black screen happens even if - I boot into text mode and using nomodeset fixes it.
