Ubuntu 8.10 on lg-s1 laptop, x1600.
I use the radeon driver. The last version working for me is:
1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2,
on the ubuntu main repos.
When trying to upgrade to any later version (I tried several) I get a weird issue: the system goes up normally, I get sound and can login - but the screen is completely black. I have no signal, and the system is unaware of it.
Reading some readme files, it looks like the problem is a change done for the sake of rv530 chipsets on mac laptops. Apparently it messes up my none-mac laptop using the same chipset. It could be the explanation for the troubles of this guy:
Any idea what I can do, or whom I should contact?
