Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
With yesterdays (15.04.2010) updates the file /etc/modprobe.
Sideeffect of this removal was:
- before this update I had no plymouth at all but some "ASCII-art" which looked like what should look like a plymouth boot screen. As far as I know this was intended for video-adapters with <32MB video-ram.
- after yesterdays removal of radeon-kms.conf it looks like I have working plymouth boot screen but at start up it looked somewhat garbled (see attached photo). However... after some time of booting the screen "normalizes" and looks like how plymouth should look. Some time means some seconds before I can see gdm.
My Notebook is an IBM X31 with a radeon 7000/ M6 LY graphics adapter with 16MB of video-ram.
The X31 runs Lucid Beta 2 with all updates.

This shows that the drm renderer is being successfully used; if it's being rendered incorrectly, that's a kernel bug. Reassigning to linux.

I see this too on an IBM T42 with radeon 7500 32MB (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]).
This machine needs KMS to not reintroduce bug #513950 and about 5 other related bugs when KMS is not enabled.

Plymouth used to decide that this radeon needed to use the text theme, but lately is using the logo theme instead.
+ Lucid: garbled video at boot on radeon 7xxx cards
Following debugging on IRC it seems that the issue is not kernel version dependant. Plymouth is no using the drm renderer by default. It appears to not be correctly taking account of bits-per-pixed for older framebuffers. Moving to plymouth.
yes, triggered by plymouth's unconditional use of the drm renderer for radeon when available - instead of falling back to the fb renderer on systems with a single display output, as we did prior to 0.8.2.

Thanks to the attached photo, you can be sure I have exactly the same problem.

I'm getting a similar problem on ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01), but the garbage on the screen is quite different (see attached photo).
Should I open a new bug or report it here?
Confirmed on my Thinkpad T40 Radeon 7500 32mb card (2373 22G)
The colours get even worse on shutdown.
Confirmed on Toshiba Tecra S1 ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 32mb & Toshiba Satellite 1110 ATI Mobility Radeon 16mb.
This problem also affects the Maverick daily build of June 28, maverick-
Confirmed on Radeon 4850 512MB card on Lucid, with a very screwed up shutdown screen too
The problem still persists for me on 10.10 alpha3.
Actually it has worked quite well for several weeks now during startup. Only the additional text during routine disk checks is somewhat hazy and flickering. Not sure when it started to work. I thought I had watched all updates applied, but I must have missed it somehow.
During shutdown the problem still exists. Colours are messed up completely in 99% of the cases and the graphics is not sharp. (I believe I have.seen it working correctly very few times, though)

The problem still persists for me on 10.10 beta
For me, the problem also persists on my Thinkpad X32 (ATI mobility radeon 16mo) with Ubuntu 10.10 Beta with all updates.
Like this picture http://
On my Elitebook 6930p (Lucid Lynx, ATI Radeon, proprietary drivers), I was able to get rid of the problem using the instructions found here:
In short, I had to install the uvesafb driver and do some modifications to the grub configuration and the initrd image.
The relevant portions of my /etc/default/grub now look like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_
GRUB_CMDLINE_
GRUB_LINUX16=true
GRUB_GFXMODE=
@Thomas Uhl : Your model of radeon card is not a 7*** series
@Jean Traullé : which only shows the bug is more common than the original reporter thought and stated in the topic. There have been broader bug reports but they were all marked as duplicates of this one. Which means there's no better place for me or Thomas Uhl to seek help (I have this problem on Radeon 3470).

The problem still exists in 10.10 RC
As for me maverick fixed the problem.
(Or maybe not maverick but something during the upgrade process itself?)
Unconfirmed but not-completely-
I still see this problem when booting a Dell D600 (ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] rev 2) from a USB key made from kubuntu-
Same problem here on a Thinkpad R51 with Mobilty Radeon 7500.

Still present when booting the above-mentioned D600 from with Kubuntu Oneiric alpha http://
Still present when booting the above-mentioned D600 from Lucid candidate http://
Still present when booting the above-mentioned D600 from Oneiric Beta 2 http://
Same problem in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.4 (LTS!) on HP t5735 with ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series].
We had to create our own (rather ugly) workaround by setting the `bits_per_pixel` fixed at `4` instead of using `Window.
It's a shame this one didn't got fixed as it affects all users with mentioned (embedded) graphics cards, eg. multiples of thousands, instead of the 36 actually following this bug.
