I am having this problem long before, but now as of Xorg 1.16 and kernel 3.15 I am forced to use radeon driver, because proprietary driver is up to Xorg 1.15 and Linux 3.13.
So, what happens with radeon driver is that it loads driver without any error ([drm] initialized driver) and I get this screen and it's fading to white. It looks like broken screen.
I can boot with UMS disabled (passing radeon.modeset=0 in kernel line), but I only have basic graphics support. It started to occur since kernel 3.12. Same result both on Arch Linux and Slackware -current. However, with kernel 3.10 and Xorg 1.12 it works fine.
Is there any solution to this problem rather than downgrading?
