Ashish, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg Thank you for your understanding.

I don't know, which resolution your panel needs. It might be possible to chose the right framebuffer mode. Try this # hwinfo --framebuffer Use the appropriate mode hexnumber (16bit mode recommended) as vga boot parameter. Example: Mode 0x0317: 1024x768 (+2048), 16 bits --> vga=0x317 To be honest: It's unlikely this ever been fixed. Nobody is still working on the sis driver upstream, the SiS company is no longer active in this area, and the driver is no longer building against the latest Xserver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069064 Title: Screen keeps blinking after boot up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1069064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
