Tried a few of the suggestions. I am actually using the PCI card at present to drive my monitor on my Feisty system but in this non Load "dri" mode. So "ati" but "dri" not loaded. It works reasonably well in this mode but is a bit slow. 10% to 15% of the speed w4ett is quoting. So I guess the card is OK?
1. Got hold of an Edgy Live CD ... could not get the card to work via the options "Load or Install Ubuntu" or "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode". Black screen on both. 2. Tried my Feisty Live CD ... it fails to work via the option "Load or Install Ubuntu". Black screen. BUT "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode" option does work and when I look at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf it has used the "vesa" option. -- ATI Radeon 9200 / 9250 PCI black screen and console freeze with DRI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
