Description André DESMOTTES 2011-05-02 21:42:34 CEST 
Description of problem:

After a new installation in empty partitions, Mageia is very long to boot a first time, then a second time (auto reboot) and arrive to the connection screen with no background (black). The connexion is possible but the desk (KDE4) has also a black background. Each attempt to change the driver in the MCC make the PC to crash, black screen with no blinking prompt, no possibility to have a tty. Same thing if you choose or not to test and if the answer is yes or no after the test. Same thing if you try to change the driver in a console after a non graphic boot.
I managed lspcidrake | grep DISPLAY in a console, the answer is : Radeon HD4350 [DISPLAY_VGA]
No 3D of course.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MB Asus M4A77D AM2+
GC Asus EAH4350 (Radeon HD 4350)
Mageia beta2 x86_64

How reproducible:
Each boot

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot
2.Wait the auto reboot
3.Wait the connection screen and look

Similar problems with my ATI Radeon Mobility HD4220.

My first installation with KDE-One was ok.

Second with dual-boot was a struggle.

Workaround: 
Install LXDE, after a lot of errors system is starting
Add the nonfree repositories
change to the proprietary display driver (via mcc)

After that, I installed KDE
