The screen on the model I reported has failed on me. I now use an external monitor hooked up via vga. I still get blanking but inquiries tell me that this is due to variability in card and monitor resolution tolarancy. So, I can't speak to this any longer.
Now if Ubuntu recognized the monitor via DVI, I could futher provide feedback. I don't think it's a proprietary DVI as it fits a regular DVI cable (dual-link DVI is what wikipedia says). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984248 Title: Logging out of sessions results in a transitional black textual screen --12.10 upgrade Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I log out of sessions, a black screen appears before lightdm appears.
