Dear Maintainer,
I had sucessfully installed DVD ISO Image: Debian GNU/Linux 7.6.0 _Wheezy_ -
Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20140712-14:11, I had logged in succesfully and
gdm3 warns that hasn't been loaded properly. I had reported a non-blocking
bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770116 not related to
gdm3. After every boot I always had succesfully logged in.
Then I have installed the propretary driver AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 Proprietary
Linux x86 Display Driver so my system details are:
Debian
Versione 7.7 (wheezy) 64 bit
Kernel Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64
Gnome 3.4.2
Iceweasel 31.2.0
Graphic Driver
X.Org X Server 1.12.4
AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver
Hardware
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor × 8
AMD Radeon R9 290X Graphics Card
the graphics card was correctly detected:
:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.4.13084 Compatibility Profile Context 14.301.1001
the fgl_glxgears test runs fine:
~$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Finnaly the first reboot went fine: gdm3 have been fully and correctly loaded.
The problem come up on the following boots. About 3 times every 4 boots the
system hangs up just before entering in graphical mode: the screen is black, no
mouse is shown, not any click on the mouse or keybord typing have any effect,
no tty terminal can be opened, no soft reboot, by pressing the reboot button
on the descktop case, works. The only thing that have effect is turn off and
then turn on the computer about 3 (one time even 8) consecutive times.
