Hi Jörg, I removed the ati-driver and did a fresh install. After reboot the driver was working well (Blur effect was on, for example). When I plugged the TV screen into the card, resolution somehow messed up, but I was able to start the Display Configuration in System Settings. I did all the adjustments and applied them. The accept dialog did not accept anything and the screen was frozen. It did not revert to the old settings, too. So I killed the X process and after that, it came up nicely and this is what I have till now. If you want to, I'll keep an eye on iy and report into this bug.
regards, Hans-Peter BTW: the upgrade to 14.04 was not smooth. It stalled and I had to issue dpkg --configure all manually. Maybe the graphics driver thing is a result of this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290232 Title: kubuntu 14.04: graphics driver not working properly Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Did the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 yesterday (9-mar-2014). After that, desktop behaviour was strange. I realized that the graphics driver chose the strange resolution for both my display (as DVI-0, std resolution = 1680x1050) and the tv screen on VGA-0 (std resolution = 1920x1080). When i turn on the tv set, graphics driver switches to resoltion 1280x1024. It is not possible to set the position relatively to each other. It always says 'absolute'. One time it was not possible to 'de-unify' the screens. So i experience a lot of strange behaviour. My graphics card is a Radeon 3100. I think base problem is, that the ati-driver cannot be loaded. fglrx driver, can't be loaded, either. But fglrx quit support for my card some time ago. Until 13.04 the radeon driver was working very fine. --- ApportVersion: 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-02-02 (766 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-16.36-generic 3.13.5 Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.13.0-16-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-03-09 (0 days ago) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1290232/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
