(Get the code!)
My adapter is:
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
My problem description is the following:
After Grub finishes I see "Starting..." string on the black screen, and the font of the string changes. But right after that the screen becomes completely black and I get a large underscore cursor blinking on the top left corner of the screen.
This black screen with cursor stays there for about 3 minutes (Feisty boots much faster on the same machine, I don't understand), and right after that (i.e. after X loads) I can see the famous Ubuntu login screen with brown background. Thereafter, I don't have any problems. This has been the case since fresh install.
Since my problem occurs before X loads and after that everything is fine, I wasn't too hopeful that new Xserver driver would solve my problem. But I've installed the latest driver from Tormod's page:
xserver-
Since it did not solve my problem, I've also added the following lines to xorg.conf later on:
Option "LVDSBiosNative
Option "DRI" "off"
Nothing changed.
Since I don't have any problem after X loads, my situation is not so bad. But any suggestions are welcome.
