I see this every time after a fresh install on a Radeon HD 6450, too.
Login and reboot (as with eyes shut) has always been successful.
By the way, recently, I had a nice effect: I forgot to attach the
monitor cable before boot, hence the usual 1600x1200 resolution was not
detected, and the standard 1024x768 mode was chosen. After connecting
the monitor cable, as a result I got the neat SunOS console font based
on the lower resolution (getting back the full resolution in the
consecutive startx session). I like it very much, since it was better
readable and not that tiny. Is there a way to choose lower resolutions
for radeondrm console using some suitable configuration file?
With best regards,
Jens
