Using the latest version of this package everything is working fine, so I thought I would close it.

[Bug 35949] gdm hangs with any kernel newer than a 2.6.15-14-686
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35949 Comment: Hi Fabio, Yeah it does seem to be bug number 21 for the X600 :( I am now using the vesa driver and it works, with a max res of 1600x1200 instead of the usual 1920x1200 From reading through the other x600 bugs I could find, this is a dup of #34661, feel free to mark it as such. I also plan to try the DRI fix suggested in bug #35601 at some stage. I reviewed my logs again and found that DRI fails with 2.6.15-14 and so gdm runs fine. I will keep you posted on my progress. Let me know if you need more info. Cheers Dave -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35949 Comment: Just to give a bit more info which might help someone looking into this I have got my box again working with the ati driver @ 1920x1200 ! I had to disable dri support, oh well. I have access to a Fujitsu Lifebook E8020 which is also running dapper using a X600 using the ati driver at 1400 x 1050 (iirc). I will have a play with it when I get a chance. It seemed to be running with dri support on a 2.6.15-16-386 kernel.

Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35949 Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: When trying to use any official dapper kernel newer than 2.6.15-14-686 gdm hangs. Here is the process: 1 machine happily boots 2 I watch the nice animations 3 screen goes black with the cursor flashing once or twice in the top left corner of the screen 4 cursor stays solid for 1 or 2 seconds 5 screen goes completely black 6 hdd light flickers a little bit 7 machine sits there doing bugger all 8 try ctrl-alt-f[1-6] nothing 9 try ctrl-alt-bs nothing 10 scream about how fscking annoying this is 11 remember alt-sysreq-b and try it 12 machine reboots When trying a 2.6.16-rc6 self compiled kernel the box has locked hard and even steps 11 12 don't work, even with repeated use of step 10. The power button is the only solution here. This is what I expect to happen, and happens with 2.6.15-14-686: 1 machine happily boots 2 I watch the nice animations 3 screen goes black with the cursor flashing once or twice in the top left corner of the screen 4 cursor stays solid for 1 or 2 seconds 5 screen goes completely black 6 hdd light flickers a little bit 7 the little circle animation comes up 8 the gdm graphical greeter loads 9 I enter my username and press enter 10 I enter my password and press enter 11 I admire the attractiveness of my wallpaper while gnome fires up I have been trying to find out how I get gdm to output a stack of debug info into a log file, but google, man or irc don't seem to have the answer.
