Not sure about that, but, again I don't think so. As you can see in the Ubuntu bug report, there's no xorg.conf file. I'm simply using the default shipped with Ubuntu, that is, no config file. I simply install Ubuntu with the usual iso image and that's it. It used to work out of the box. The tweak I'm using is only about the way Ubuntu boots (either via GRUB or directly via the EFI stub). No other system wide tweak is in place. Can I start X manually? No, I can't if I issue a startx command I get the same error. What I haven't tried is to configure X manually, that is, writing my own xorg.conf specifying the radeon driver, but it would be a gross workaround, not a fix. But if you need it as a test, I can try that.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
