The bug is also affecting my configuration:
Laptop Compaq 6910p with radeon X2300 video.
- output of: "lspci | grep VGA"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI M64-S [Mobility Radeon X2300]
- output of: "uname -a" (my current configuration, working perfectly)
Linux Compaq-6910p 3.2.0-44-generic #69-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 16 17:35:01 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Basically trying to boot all Linux distro with Kernel > 3.4 will result in a black screen with unresponsive keyboard. Booting with nomodeset=1 always works but brings a 1024x768 resolution instead of native 1280x800.
As user "Fibonacci" found out the offending kernel patch, what can be done to undo it in future kernel versions? I understand that we are a relatively small number of users affected, with a relatively outdated hardware. Any hope?
Thanks for your work and time.
