I believe this problem still exists in 10.04 Lucid. My attempts to install 10.04 appear to fail as described in this bug.
My computer is a Toshiba 7200CT, and the specs say that the video is a "Trident CyberBlade e-4 128-bit graphics accelerator". In xorg.conf it lists "BoardName Cyber 9540", which seems to be the correct driver. (The NoDCC work around does not help.) I don't see a way to "tag the bug" to indicate that it affects Lucid. Would it improve the chances of fixing this bug it I try to install the Natty version of Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-trident in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223774 Title: [HARDY] NoDDC option doesn't work for trident cyberblade/i1 resulting in system lockup Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Invalid Status in xf86-video-trident: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Invalid Status in “xserver-xorg-video-trident” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “xserver-xorg-video-trident” source package in Intrepid: Won't Fix Bug description: In Gutsy it was possible get the display on a Toshiba Satellite 1800 (which I'm putting together for an group I'm part of) working by editing the Device section of of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to have Option "NoDDC" "true". This no longer works in Hardy and thus the laptop is a paperweight with Hardy. (vesa driver doesn't work either, for either) The display adaptor built into the laptop is a Trident CyberBlade/i1 A fresh install of Hardy does not solve the problem. Only reverting to Gutsy and editing xorg.conf does. In fact for Gutsy it is necessary to install an xorg.conf that has NoDDC before the initial installation of xserver.org is made or else the installer hangs with a blank screen during the configuration of that package. This makes Ubuntu unsuitable for distribution with this laptop as it'd be far too easy for someone to end up with a non-working system, and depending on who gets it (it's a donation that's being raffled off), I may not be close enough to support the end user in case of trouble.
