Bug#607767: Blank screen on starting X with Dual 2 GHz G5 and X800XT; DRM module not loading for radeon driver
The monitor does not go blank: it loses signal as the entire machine locks up. After starting X, I see a brief flash of text, then the monitor flashes "no signal" and the entire machine locks up. An ssh session on another machine is locked up, and I can not ping the Linux machine. The only way to bring it back it a hard reset.
If you look at the attached xorg.log and/gdm/:0.log you will see the xorg.log is very short--as if the X server/machine completely locks up--and it looks as if the :0.log shows Gnome/X unable to find a display, using CRT default and then entering TV Save mode.
