I think I'm at the right place to report video card frustrations.
Radeon HD450 fails to work out of the box with any Linux.
With Debian Wheezy I need to edit the grub line starting with linux and add
vga=791 to do anything. vga=771 fails
With Knoppix 7.0 I need vga=771 and that's okay, but vga=791 the left half of
screen is on right and right on left. The cursor moves to right falls off the
screen and re-appears on left side. Very strange.
With DebianMint I need vga=771 or 791 to get it to work.
On my Acer Aspire laptop with a Radeon HD6310 I do not need any of this vga=
stuff.
I am sure that this is not a driver problem. All the vga=xxx does is kick it
somewhere so that I loads the driver.
My Motherboard is M2V-Mx from Asus and once the /etc/default/grub is fixed with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791" or 771 it's okay. (sudo update-grub of course)
I recently junked my Nvidia 8500GT video because the driver for that became
sick, the worst feature was not being able to display the layout of the pcb
tool unless I disabled the driver and used cpu sw rendering on the video but
that's an other story. Ian.
