[Bug 16842] Re: xorg.conf is not configured correctly for a Compaq Presario 1800T laptop
I just did a fresh install of xubuntu 8.10 on a clean disk Compaq Presario 1800 with 196MB RAM. Same problem as described above. Screen displays OK with "Safe Graphics" install mode but I'd like to know if it's possible to increase the resolution. -- xorg.conf is not configured correctly for a Compaq Presario 1800T laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 16842] Re: xorg.conf is not configured correctly for a Compaq Presario 1800T laptop
hey, can you re-open? I have an 1800t, and will stay with you until you can close this out. I'm having this same issue, am a Linux/Ubuntu newbie (sorry) but hopefully I won't be too painful... Here's what I've observed/done... 1st - when i boot, everything looks fine until the login prompt screen comes up... the screen paints but there is a vertical blur in the middle and the screen on each side of that line is similar (like the screen is being split and overwritten half way, weird). 2nd - NEW FACT FOR YOU - when I press Fn-F3 (this laptops key combo to switch to an external monitor) TWICE (switch to and back), the screen comes back fine without the blur... weird. I figured this out on a fluke but it works as a temporary workaround for those trying to get through the install. 3rd - I overwrote my xorg.conf file with this one http://launchpadlibrarian.net/1509936/xorg.conf and restarted. result - still get the blur on the login screen, do my fn-f3 combo twice, login, and now i have 1024x768 resolution (instead of 800x600). So that file helped for sure, but i'm still getting the weirdness until I switch the internal display on/off.

ok, closing since the issue cannot be debugged further. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- xorg.conf is not configured correctly for a Compaq Presario 1800T laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I no longer have that machine.

Sounds like this is the magic bit: SubSection "extmod" Option"omit xorg-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Could you please test this clean xorg.conf, which is a current stock xorg.conf just with the above bit added?

I also confirm that using the third version of the xorg.conf file posted here (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/1509936/xorg.conf) seems to fix the problem. -- xorg.conf is not configured correctly for a Compaq Presario 1800T laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm this issue. I have the same problem with a Compaq Presario 1800T on Hardy. (I've had the same problem with this laptop since Feisty; it worked fine with Dapper and Edgy.) FYI, I've also had the same problem trying Debian Etch on this laptop, so the issue is probably upstream. The problem is that there is a thin vertical artifact a few pixels wide at 800x600. On 640x480 the artifact is significantly wider. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- xorg.conf is not configured correctly for a Compaq Presario 1800T laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
