Public bug reported: I am trying to test the Radeon driver with a precursor to switching to XMir then Mir, but am unable to get into any kind of Graphical Desktop without using the FGLRX Drivers.
When I purge these from my computer and reboot the computer hangs after the Ubuntu Loading screen and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot, no other key combinations appear to work. I can then reboot into Recovery Mode and reinstall the drivers. lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
