Testing has shown that KMS support for the ati xpress 1250 is inadequate, often resulting in a regression where the system hangs during boot up. Testers have found that booting with radeon.modeset=0 restores the system functionality. This is why this particular video card should be blacklisted. As suggested by Brice Harrington in bug #542208, comment 17, it is better to keep one report per chip. [initial bug report: symptoms of what happens when one tries to boot with kms enabled] Here are some details of what happens: 1. setting nomodeset option 2. editing boot option, removing quiet and splash 3. Selecting Try Ubuntu 4. System begins to boot, lots of messages are printed on the screen 5. After 2-3 seconds, screen goes black although disk activity continues 6.
