Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
I used update-manager to upgrade my 8.10 to 9.04. Unfortunately, the
system hanged when starting X after the upgrade.
My video card is a Radeon HD 4650, I installed Catalyst 9.3 in 8.10.
After the upgrade, seems all the fglrx drivers were installed properly.
However, when starting X, my screen flickered 2 or 3 times, and froze at
a black screen with a bunch of color (red/orange/white) dots at the top
part of the screen. Keyboard does not work, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace also does
not work. Only thing I can do is to hold the power button :(
I tried to boot into root console, and downloaded Catalyst 9.4, but it
could not be installed, complaining about "Failed to add to DKMS". After
spending more than 5 hours on this, I finally decided to download a CD
image and install a fresh system from CD. The video works ok in the
freshly installed system.
Here is my Xorg.log. If would be nice if someone can look into this, in
case when an ATI user encounter the same issue as I did.
