Blank screen with some ATI hardware
*
People with ATI display adapters may get a blank screen when
loading X due to the driver being unable to initialize certain hardware.
Upstream is working on it, and hopefully we'll be able to release an
update for 7.10 soon after the release. In the meantime, add 'Option
"LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false"' to the driver section of xorg.conf. [WWW]
