With 'nomodeset' I still get the garbled screen (and indeed tiny pixels whenever I type something), but can fix it by using alt-sysreq-k.
Without 'nomodeset' I'm getting all vertical lines and cannot use my system. Can't get past that with alt-sysreq-k or ctrl-alt-backspace. Every once in a while it actually boots ok without the 'nomodeset' and then Plymouth works ok, but at the moment I feel this is getting less frequent. Because I can't reproduce the behaviour without 'nomodeset' right or wrong, I feel there is some issue to do with timing or a race condition somewhere between the kernel and the radeon driver. But I'm not a dev. Updating Lucid twice a day. I'm not trying daily cd's unless I can't get into my system even by booting into rescue mode. cheers Tom Lollerke wrote: > I have an X200M too. > > 2010.02.18. daily build: everything is perfect with nomodeset > 2010.02.21. daily build: screen corruption (tiny black pixels in the > upper-left corner and when I start to write something in any apps it gets > bigger) with nomodeset > > -- Plymouth garbles screen (ATI 200M) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
