[Bug 182743] Re: hardy xorg not detecting for compaq evo n410c
1. The stub or blank xorg.conf files are actually normal. Xorg has been working to make more and more of xorg.conf optional, and make the xserver automatically detect and configure most hardware. So it is no bug that the xorg.conf seems more empty than usual. There are some situations where additional things need to be added to xorg.conf, but that's fairly exceptional and probably not the case for this issue. 2. The Screens and Graphics (aka displayconfig-gtk) application is deprecated in Hardy. The reason why it shows blanks is the consequence of the blank xorg.conf. This is also part of the reason we're deprecating the tool in Hardy. 3. In Hardy, -ati has been blacklisted for Compiz and is no longer supported. This is because -ati still has too many bugs when running with 3D compositing. It's true that a few people did find that compiz worked ok for them with -ati, though, so it is possible to un-blacklist it on your local system. See bug #197135 for discussion. You can bypass the blacklist by starting compiz with SKIP_CHECKS=yes. 4. ~/.gnome2/monitors.xml - this is a file generated when you run the Screen Resolution tool, to override the xserver defaults. On a freshly installed or upgraded system, this file won't be present; it only appears after you've used Screen Resolution. Deleting it is safe, and just puts you back to the xserver defaults. 5. Touchpad doesn't work. This is probably unrelated, but hard to say with the limited info given. Please see bugs #89517, #226433, or #95418; if those don't match what you're seeing, file a new bug (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting for details on what to include in bug reports.) 6. X crashes for borfast. What you're seeing is probably an unrelated bug, but you've not given enough info to troubleshoot - please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting and file a new bug. Also, you should probably also collect a backtrace - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions. So, issues 1, 2, and 4 are not actually bugs, and 3 is certainly a dupe. 5 and 6 are unrelated issues that need reported separately, and just got linked here because of the red herring of xorg.conf being shorter than expected. Thus I think we can close this bug as invalid, to help avoid others getting confused. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- hardy xorg not detecting for compaq evo n410c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182743 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 get that distorted boot screen if I enter anything into xorg.conf beyond the stub version above.

Sorry, looks like monitors.xml is indeed where you mentioned. I am running Hardy on both my desktop and laptop but curiously, the filedoesn't exist on my desktop - which is why I said I didn't have it. Could this be because I upgraded my desktop from Gutsy? Anyway, I deleted the file, as mentioned in the mailing list post you referred and X didn't crash anymore - but only because X wasn't loading at all, probably because it was trying to load the vesa driver, which I had manually entered in xorg.conf. Usually, the computer would just lock and I'd be forced to reboot. This time I could access the terminal, edit xorg.conf and remove the driver line. I restarted the computer and this time it tried to load X but crashed, as usual, and not even Alt + SysRec + REISUB can reboot it. The funny/interesting thing is that this time I got a different background picture - the windows blue shutdown screen with the windows logo. The image was all distorted, as you can see here, but still recognizable. I really don't get it... I am now going to reinstall the whole thing from scratch and hope that it solves the problem... -- hardy xorg not detecting for compaq evo n410c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182743 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

xorg.conf is a stub in Hardy, so it's supposed to be largely empty. Config is now in per user in your home folder /.gnome2/monitors.xml the rest is done on the fly by xrandr. If xrandr isn't detecting your hardward properly you could try sudo displayconfig-gtk.

Is this still an issue with current Hardy? I think we changed how drivers are specified in xorg.conf since this bug report, so if you reinstall, or regenerate your xorg.conf (e.g. sudo dexconf), it should specify the driver now.

I think that I might have posted my info for a different reason. I am not using an ATI card, but Nvidia.
