I have tried everything; with no kernel boot parameters, it boots a black screen (as if the screen on my laptop was off) . With "nomodeset" and "acpi=off" it will boot an orange blinking hyphen . With "radeon.modeset=0" and "rdblacklist=radeon" it will boot to command line; X is unable to start .

Hi, i'm unable to get Compiz working.
