[Bug 107711] Re: Xorg does not detect Ati Radeon mobility x1300 during Ubuntu i386 7.04 install
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 89853 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 One root cause of inability to find a proper X resolution is a flaky EDID transfer from the BIOS. This is due to code added to vm86.c to try and resolve noisy error messages from the auditing subsystem. This is not an issue on non-x86 systems which use the x86emu code instead of vm86 to talk to the BIOS of the ATI card. The definitive symptom here is if the EDID hex output in Xorg.0.log is missing, or mostly zeros. The definitive work-around until the vm86.c kernel bug is fixed, or a more clever approach to getting the EDID data is added to the X server, is to add the line: Option Int10Backend x86emu to the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. -- Xorg does not detect Ati Radeon mobility x1300 during Ubuntu i386 7.04 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107711 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

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 89853 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 I find your log output most interesting. Someone who understands the X configuration better than I should work on the question, Why does the EDID data CLEARLY offer details for operation at 1280x800, but the X server configure itself down to 800x600? The particular problem I'm working on has to do with the question, How much of the EDID data block really SHOULD be coming up zeros? If you look at your log output, you see the lines beginning, EDID (in hex): Those 128 bytes should ALWAYS be the same. If you're being bitten by the same bug that bites me, you will see them coming up randomly DIFFERENT with successive runs of the X server. This has the effect of only providing a partial fill-in of the data X wants in order to successfully configure the monitor. Something for you to try: Restart the X server several times, and watch that EDID output. See if it changes. Something that might get you going is to see if, in xorg.conf, you have 1280x1024 and 1024x768 in the Modes subsection of your Screen section, looking something like this: SubSection Display Depth 24 Modes 1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection Maybe you're being bit by the bug I will get bit by in the FUTURE when the EDID transfer becomes successful, but the X server mis-applies the data. -- Xorg does not detect Ati Radeon mobility x1300 during Ubuntu i386 7.04 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107711 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

Yeah Baby... IT WORKS this time ! The trick is exactly as you wrote: extending those modes line with the required (and supported) resolution. For completeness I attached my working xorg.conf. (feel free to have a look) The only thing I did was *adding* those 1280x800 resolutions, all the rest was default after Ubuntu installed, and I added the restricted driver of ATI.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 89853 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 Maarten: Could you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log to this bug? I'm curious about details of what your X server has gotten from the EDID fetch. On my Dell Optiplex 745, the EDID fetch sometimes comes back all zeros, instead of actually providing the monitor config data. I have an xorg.conf that seems to more consistently fetch the EDID data, but I don't yet know why. Two differences are that the line: Load i2c is deleted and a line is added: Option UseFBDev true Things started working when I added these lines. They seem to have changed the timing of the EDID fetch such that it was successful more often.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 89853 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 I can confirm this. When I install Feisty on my laptop with a Mobility Radeon 9000 and first boot, X fails to start and if you look at the log file it says no screens were found. If you check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you'll find it's completely blank (!!). Deleting this file (and letting X figure everything out itself) or using reconfigure works, but this is odd and would likely scare people away if they couldn't get a GUI after installing the OS. I've used the same CD to install to my desktop (with an nVidia card) and it was fine then and I've reinstalled on that same laptop with the same issue just to confirm it wasn't a fluke. -- Xorg does not detect Ati Radeon mobility x1300 during Ubuntu i386 7.04 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107711 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
