Summary: [HD3470 + HD3200] Dual cards prevents X from starting /
black screen
Product: xorg
Version: 7.4
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
URL: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-
video-radeonhd/+bug/311748
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Driver/radeonhd
AssignedTo: lverhaegen@xxxxxxx
ReportedBy: Egarretsen@xxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: xorg-team@xxxxxxxxxxx
CC: Egarretsen@xxxxxxxxxx


Please see bug report at launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd/+bug/311748

The specs:
Asus x56tr Notebook
AMD TURION X2 64
ATI 3200 & ATI HD3470Ma
RAM 4GB (now reduced to 2MB physically)

I can install Intrepid Ibex, but my graphics cards don't work in Intrepid.

Installing Ubuntu only works with the extra boot options acpi=off or MAXCPUS=1.
Ubuntu Intrepid installed, but i couldn't get any GUI. The x-server tried to
start but failed. I also cannot switch to terminal using crtl-alt F1, because X
keeps trying. sometimes i get the errormessage: no screens found. I tried ati,
radeon, vesa, radeonhd. I tried installing the official ati-drivers. Nothing
worked, then after hours of mindbreaking i installed Hardy Heron, IT worked!
Installed the restricted drivers and the screen looks nice.

At the moment i'm using Mandriva linux, which at the first boot could start the
xserver, but then a text based troubleshoot appeared and using this i was able
to get Mandriva running. Please see the link i provide for several xorg.o.log
files and xorg.conf files from both Mandriva and ubuntu intrepid / Jaunty.
