[Bug 67487] Re: [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts

[Quash]

For what it's worth, I noticed that a number of reports, including mine,
were loading Edgy 386 CDs on AMD64 systems.  So, to rule that out
configuration set out of the bug, I downloaded the AMD64 desktop iso to
see if I would experience the identical bug.

I did.

I booted in to default and Safe Graphics mode, removing "quiet" and
"splash" and choosing the VGA 16 option.  But, I ended up with the same
black screen at the same point.

It was worth a shot.  They say that failed bug tests can be just as
valuable as successful ones, right?  :) LOL.

Q.
