Hi,
I have an issue with fglrx driver since release of Catalyst 9.9.
Before that the driver worked correctly however when I install Catalyst 9.9 or 9.10 and reboot then the system loads until X starts and then all I can see is a black screen and I can't even switch to text console however when I press the power button on my box then the system seems to start shut down procedure and really shuts down after some time.
The OS I noticed this issue for the first time was Ubuntu 9.04 (amd64) however it persists on Ubuntu 9.10 (amd64) as well. I have also installed and tested on Ubuntu 9.10 (i386) but there was no improvement.
Moreover I have noticed that it seems to be related to the fglrx kernel module because when I installed kernel 2.6.32 (from daily builds) and the module didn't compile automatically for this kernel then I got my X back however it was very slow.
The reason I need to stick with fglrx is that this is the only driver which displays HDMI output correctly on my plasma screen and with open source drivers I only get an "Invalid Format" message on the plasma screen).
Anyone face the same issue?
Do you have any idea what the reason for that might be?
Maybe someone managed to resolve this issue?
Any information greatly appreciated.
Thanks
