[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1044885] Re: blinking blanking monitor
1. My PC's mother board has an ATI Radeon graphics chip. It blinked and blanked only when it recognized the monitor as a Dell 17. It did not blank when it recognized the monitor as Unknown. This happened occasionally after an update/upgrade. 2. In the belief that I might have a h/w problem, I added a new grapcs card: Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX. The blinky blank problem became more pronounced and my on-board graphics ceased to provide VGA output. 3. I have replaced my Dell 17 monitor by my wife's LG monitor which is recognized by Linux as a Goldstar Company Ltd 23, 1920 x 1080 dispaly (VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)). The blinky blank problem is as bad as with the Dell 17 monitor. The problem is: - not the monitor - not the graphics hardware - not Ubuntu, as it seems I am the only person with this problem I am at a loss. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044885 Title: blinking blanking monitor Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: lsb_release -rd on AMD 64bit PC with apt-cache policy pkgname N: Unable to locate package pkgname My display sometimes comes up as Dell 17 1289 x 1024 and sometimes, after an update, as Unknown 1200 x 800.
