Following DebuggingKernelBoot gives me basically the same results as just removing the "set gfxpayload..." line. Things work.
Although I noticed I'm able to repeatably get X into an unusable state with a jpeg slideshow. With disk I/O under heavy load (rsyncing gigabytes of source locally), eog and gliv both caused it within a few jpegs. Without load, I pulled up gliv and did a slideshow with no delay, so the images are just flickering by, and in about a minute it reached this state again. The display goes black every few seconds, then shows me a different sample of my desktop. I can switch out to a VT and kill the slidesow application, but X doesn't become responsive again. So I think the driver problem isn't limited to startup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971204 Title: graphics fails with setgfxpayload=keep, AMD Radeon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/971204/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
