Login screen not appearing after upgrade to Jessie

[stevepusser]

your problem is an incompatibility between ATI cards and the latest kernel.

I didn't test in depth, but the current kernel 3.16 and its radeon driver are not working properly. If you want to install fglrx, you need to downgrade to kernel 3.13 as it's the latest supported by the beta version (14.6)

Actually, you can safely install the Sid fglrx packages in Jessie and Wheezy, and they are patched to build with the 3.14 at least through the 3.16 kernel. They were also easy to backport on a Wheezy base to go along with a backported 3.16 Liquorix kernel. I don't know what's keeping them out of Jessie.

The driver source straight from AMD will have those problems, though.

Anyway way to roll back to the previous state?

yes, clone your root directory with CloneZilla before attempting to upgrade.

I have troubles with fglrx in Jessie too. After system has booting, graphics mode usually not settled and I got login in text mode.
I log in as root and restart my DM:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/kdm restart

after this graphics mode usually starts.
