Comment 30 for bug 545096

Hi Bryce,

Hardware problem is the first think I thought but :

- There's never any problem under intrepid or under Windows
- The problem appeared the very day I upgraded to Lucid
- The problem still doesn't appear if I fall back to the VESA driver

Could you provide me a build of the Lucid radeon driver which is pre-KMS
by default ? (more than 8 days old, unfortunatly my cache doesn't go
that far).

I could then confirm that nomodeset is working or not with those older
driver and not the newest.
