Re: [Bug 140051] Re: xf86-video-amd: fails to autoconfigure
Hello all, I am sure the bug now is fixed in Hardy and Ibex. I tried once with a new Ubuntu and it worked properly. I will have to get a system(not at hand currently) and come back with the information since which version it worked. Best Regards, Christian I have to say it is. My Hardy servers don't have the PPA in them (just -updates) and I've tested on Ibex with success as well. -- xf86-video-amd: fails to autoconfigure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140051 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

Re: [Bug 140051] Re: xf86-video-amd: fails to autoconfigure
I suggest that this become a different bug -- I thought I had fixed this already :/ I would like to know more about your system. Do you know if you are suing a framebuffer console? What is your BIOS? Can you provide the versions of your related packages: dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-geode xserver-xorg-video-amd xserver-xorg- core If possible could you provide the X.*.log file that was generated while the freeze to console occurred?

I cannot manually configure the client as X autoconfigures video every time a thin-client boots. The fixed package for the driver doesn't seem to help X autoconfigure. Unfortunately this leaves me at a standstill - I can manually configure color settings for all clients, but I cannot for resolution. Any further troubleshooting/help would be greatly appreciated!! I can test any further updated packages with my Koolu thin client. Jordan, you have already reported this issue in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-amd/+bug/180742 where I asked you to investigates specific items. Can you please respond to these questions and confirm which BIOS your Koolu hardware runs, so that we may be able to help you resolve this? -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi -- xf86-video-amd: fails to autoconfigure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140051 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
Re: [Bug 140051] Re: xf86-video-amd: fails to autoconfigure
I have seen this, as well. Thought it was a GX thing, but I guess not. In the logs, it seems to assume the color depth of the framebuffer. Not sure why... -Gadi On Jan 25, 2008 4:27 PM, Martin-Éric Racine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As previously reported, DDC works as expected when booting the X server and AMD driver available in my PPA on hardware booting from a hard-disk. However, one thing I forgot to point out is that I get really psychedelic colors, presumably because the maximum color depth is not correctly detected. On LTSP, adding the following option to lts.conf works well in a pinch: X_COLOR_DEPTH=24 On a desktop based on the same chipset, adding the following option to the Screen section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf produces the same effect: DefaultDepth24 We're still investigating the cause of this failed maximum depth detection.
