[Bug 509273] Re: [Lucid] ATI KMS causes DRM error on X200M

[Tom Louwrier]

update:
Got a lot of upgraded packages over the last days, including X and a new kernel. Result is still the same, and still disappointing.
Loaded the new kernel and X yesterday, rebooted and everything worked fine. No screen corruption, vertical lines etc, Plymouth also doing exactly what it should.
Logged in, logged out, rebooted. No Plymouth, just vertical lines and unusable system. Killed X, but that would not help either.
So now I'm back at booting without KMS (using the 'nomodeset' option) which gives me a garbled screen. Luckily I can get past that by killing X and then everything works pretty well.

I really think this should be picked up and fixed, since it is the sort
of 'does *not* work out of the box' issue that drives people away from
Linux back to Winblows.

Importance = high
Serious regression

cheers
Tom
