Hi. I am facing the same problem on my IBM ThinkPad T60p. My ThinkPad uses ATI 
Mobility Radeon X1400. 

Any Idea, how to make it work? Or, at least any workaround or temporary fix? :(

Thanks!

I get the same thing with a Lenovo Y560, with an ATI Mobility Radeon 5730.

Issue comes from KMS with ATI Radeon cards. When booting live, press Tab and 
append "nomodeset" to boot command line. It'll boot but with a crappy screen 
resolution.

Is there no other way to use the OS to the full capacity? I use the ATI Radeon 
5470 GPU and I have the same problem when the graphics is activated. However, 
there is no problem after using "nomodeset". But I want to use the full 
1366x768 resolution with graphics support. Any help?

Ok, I solved an issue with firmware loading on these cards. It may not be the 
same issue, but it is something that these cards would be affected by. This 
being failure to load microcode. In a normal distro, udev handles this. Android 
uses mdev. mdev can do this, you just have to tell the kernel to use mdev...

CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/mdev"

and while your there make sure...

CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y

Now, mdev looks in /lib/firmware, There is no /lib/firmware on boot. To get 
around this you need to edit bootable/newinstaller/initrd/init

     ln -s ../system/lib/modules /lib
+    ln -s ../system/lib/firmware /lib

Viola, you've got radeon KMS with firmware, at least I do on my RS780. Sadly, 
performance still sucks. I'm getting some seg faults so maybe tomorrow I'll 
gather some more information to see if it's related. Maybe someone that was 
getting the junk screen can try this.

P.S. You will probably need supplemental firmware, I did. I got it from my 
distro with working KMS.

As a follow-up, here are my dmesg for normal and debug mode. The UI is sluggish 
in normal mode, and will not start in debug mode. This is on gingerbread.

Also, just to clarify, I never did have the ripple issue, even on 2.6.35.7 when 
I started. KMS still kicked in without the microcode.
