I recently tried out openSUSE (11.1, 64-bit) and found that the Live CDs gave me no display. I could install from the DVD but got a blank screen when it got to a point where I'd normally see the login screen. Starting with "x11failsafe" allowed me to get it working and from there I could install fglrx and got the display working.
For various reasons I decided to hop back to Ubuntu. 8.10 works fine, haven't had any issues there, but I thought to try out the 9.04 alpha 2 that's currently available. I'm guessing this also uses RadeonHD by default because the behavior was exactly the same.
I use an HDTV as my monitor - the same model Toshiba recently reviewed on Phoronix - and have it connected via DVI->HDMI cable to a Palit Sonic Radeon 4850. Is this expected behavior of the driver in its current state or should I at least have a functioning display?
