Public bug reported:
This is on a Dell Inspiron 8600 w/ ATi Mobility Radeon 9600, and might
be related to bug #102712. Since a dist-upgrade to Gutsy, changing to
tty[1-6] will result on a black screen. The tty's however, are showing
in `ps aux`, and they will respond to input if I switch to any of those
(i.e. I can reboot the computer from tty1 or play an ogg). Also, ssh
logins are successful.
Boot options in grub are: nolapic splash locale=es_ES vga=791
I've updated the BIOS and the video BIOS, and also used the custom DSDT
from acpi.sourceforge.net, but to no avail. Using nosplash option will
result in an absolutely black screen until gdm loads. Booting into
recovery mode, however, will give me a text terminal, and the text
output during boot will be visible.
I have no /etc/inittab file, but feisty doesn't seem to have one either.
There are three files named *inittab* in my system; a vim hilight file,
a sample file at /usr/share/ubuntu-docs and a perl script for upstart
named /usr/lib/ipstart/migrate-inittab.pl
Thank you very much for your attention.
