Using the nomodeset kernel option I can see console messages and
runlevel 3 is fine. But switching to runlevel 5 gives me a black screen
and "Couldn't find valid PLL dividers" in the X.0.log.
Without the nomodeset kernel option runlevel 3 is fine and runlevel 5
leaves the screen usable but washed out (no 3d effects I think).
This machine has an ATI card with the r480/x800 unsupported chipset.
Also I keep getting these ABRT messages but I don't have ECC memory, and
there is no newer BIOS.
Maybe I should surrender and buy something more open? Maybe Intel cores,
chipsets and graphics?
