[OpenIndiana-discuss] IO_b148 on an ATI HD 5770: Xorg failure / black screen

[Robin Axelsson]

But there is nothing wrong with the monitor or the connection. I get the 
BIOS post and I get the GRUB but as soon as Xorg initiates it goes 
black. Xorg works not fine in build 134 (it yields a picture but not at 
the resolution I want due to some limitations in the drivers) but it 
works and has never shown any such symptoms. I have tried connecting 
another monitor to the other outputs using a DVI->VGA adapter but there 
is no signal in any of the outputs.
