Bug#401281: Xorg shows black/garbled screen
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc
Version: 2.6.18-6
Severity: normal
When I booted linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc today, Xorg showed a black
screen on my PowerBook G4 (TiBook) and nothing more, rendering X rather
unusable. When I use my brightness-adjustment keys up or down, it switches
to a white screen with dancing lines on it.
I'm using the following boot param: video=radeonfb
I also use Xorg with the radeon driver.
When I switch back to my still installed linux 2.6.18-2-powerpc, everything
works fine again.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Regards,
Paul
