Sorry Bryce, I can't test it as I no longer posses the faulty hardware. Please forward this on to another user who still has one of the faulty units.

The graphics adapter is an Intel x3100 The LCD is 1280x800. I suspect that the LCD is not compatible with the current version of the Linux driver. Out of the box, the loading screens appear just fine. Once the X server loads, the screen goes mostly white, with some scattered lines, each about 1 pixel wide. I then booted to recovery mode and selected the option for the system to attempt to fix X on its own. This resulted in a White Screen of Death as well. Any attempt to use the Intel driver results in a White Screen of Death. Vesa will not recognize a 1280x800 resolution and only gives 800x600 upon initial installation. After installing KDE the screen results in 1024x768 but still will not work in 1280x800, even though those resolutions are listed in the Modelines in xorg.conf. Bug is present in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, if not more. The worst part is that even the replacement Dell Studio 15 has this same problem.

I finally received my working replacement last week. I'm very impressed with this thing! The screen works beautifully, and even after installing the compizconfig settings manager for enhanced desktop effects, it runs great. But I know there are others who are still really anxious to get that new Intel Driver that will support the LCDs from AUO. These are mostly people who bought Dell Studio 15s with Vista and decided to change over to Ubuntu. While I can understand that Dell delivered what they promised to them, it would be nice to see Canonical and other Ubuntu developers deliver a more robust Intel Driver.

[Bug 297245] Re: [i965] Dell Studio 15 White Screen on X startup
I just received a call from a woman named Sonya from Dell, whom I spoke with before, and she has assured me that my new laptop is already in process and should most likely arrive by Monday. Sonya has been fairly good about her job. The rest of Dell is seriously lacking in the customer service, testing, quality, and inter-office communications. My experience so far with Dell has been this... If you buy a Dell laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled, you have a 1/3 chance of it actually working. Be prepared to wait for 14 days at a time for each laptop to arrive. Upon booting, it will most likely go to a white-screen. In this case, you must call Dell and tell them that you would like to exchange. If you call Dell customer support about a Linux problem, they will refer you to Canonical who will ask if you've purchased their expensive customer service package. There is a Linux customer support line, but you will have to search around online to find it since it's not printed on any of the information you will receive, nor does Dell Customer Support forward you there. Even when you've reported your problem, and one person from Dell assures you that they are addressing it, someone else from Dell will call and email you to say that they have cancelled your order. You must be persistent and hold them completely accountable in order to have anything work right. If you are the type of customer who expects something to just work out of the box then you by no means should ever go with Dell. -- [i965] Dell Studio 15 White Screen on X startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have a hunch that it has to do with the LCD panels manufactured by AUO.

The main point is that there are no values for any resolution other higher than 1024x768. So I'm assuming that this LCD manufactured by AUO is not reporting that it is capable of a 1280x800 resolution.

[Bug 297245] [NEW] Dell Studio 15 Doesn't Boot, White Screen of Death
Public bug reported: I purchased a Dell Studio 15 with Ubuntu pre-installed. The graphics adapter is an Intel x3100 The LCD is 1280x800. I suspect that the LCD is not compatible with the current version of the Linux driver. Out of the box, the loading screens appear just fine. Once the X server loads, the screen goes mostly white, with some scattered lines, each about 1 pixel wide. I then booted to recovery mode and selected the option for the system to attempt to fix X on its own. This resulted in a White Screen of Death as well. Any attempt to use the Intel driver results in a White Screen of Death. Vesa will not recognize a 1280x800 resolution and only gives 800x600 upon initial installation. After installing KDE the screen results in 1024x768 but still will not work in 1280x800, even though those resolutions are listed in the Modelines in xorg.conf. Bug is present in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, if not more. The worst part is that even the replacement Dell Studio 15 has this same problem. I suspect that Dell is knowingly selling a model of laptop that is supposedly approved hardware that they never got to work in the first place. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Dell Studio 15 Doesn't Boot, White Screen of Death https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 297245] Re: Dell Studio 15 Doesn't Boot, White Screen of Death
No. Out of the box I got the white screen of death. I then inserted the Live CD that shipped with the computer, then selected safe graphics mode and installed the standard Gnome version. Once Gnome was installed, the resolution was 800x600 using Vesa driver. Then, from Adaptec Package Manager, I downloaded KDE4. Upon reboot my screen was 1024x768 using Vesa driver, which I remind you is not the 1280x800 using Intel that I need.

[Bug 122942] Re: cannot get any sound from my sound blaster extigy
Bradlee I think what Daniel meant was to enter the command asoundconf set-default-card Extigy Now restart Cntrl+Alt+Backspace You should hear the Ubuntu Login sound after entering your password My Extigy wouldn't work at first either, but this worked for me. -- cannot get any sound from my sound blaster extigy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
