[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 505560] [NEW] boot fails after changing graphics card
Public bug reported: When I installed Ubuntu my system had an ATI graphics card. Once I got to the desktop I used System - Administration - Hardware Drivers to install a driver for it. Later I wanted to use an Intel graphics card, so I disabled the ATI card from bios and enabled the Intel card instead. When booting up the computer again it failed and got stuck in a text console. I had no idea, why and I was worried that my Intel card was broken, as one of my friends had got the card working without any problems. About a year later I read that the Intel card would support kernel mode setting, so I gave it another try, but it was still broken. After spending quite some time asking about the problem in various places I finally found out that I should remove some packages related to the ATI card. I think it was removing xorg-driver-fglrx package that finally fixed the problem and I was able to use my Intel card. By filing this bug I'm not hoping for a system that would revolutionize the graphics card infrastructure of the whole Linux eco system or what ever, but could you please change the system to a slightly more understandable direction, so getting a new graphics card (that has been proven to work in Ubuntu!) to work in Ubuntu would take a one day, instead of a year. Maybe you could put a notification on first boot with the new card For your new graphics card to work we have to remove some stuff related to your old card. Sorry for the inconvenience. Press ok to continue. Or something along those lines. ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- boot fails after changing graphics card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 442574] Re: mesa doesn't work when fglrx is installed
Did you know there is a bug for not being able to switch graphics card on the fly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/312756 I do understand that getting that feature will take some time. However, it is ridiculous that Windows users can switch their graphics card on the fly, but Ubuntu users are expected to both install/remove some software package and alter the graphics card setting in their bios. Ubuntu provides the user with no hint that you could actually make the graphics card switching work by removing some package, and even if it did this would be hard for a regular user to understand. I'm an experienced user, and I thought for a year that my other graphics card might be broken. -- mesa doesn't work when fglrx is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442574 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 442574] Re: mesa doesn't work when fglrx is installed
My bottom line is. It should atleast be possible to make video cards work by switching the actual hardware or by toggling it from bios. I'm ok with asking the user to install another driver when the new card is detected. I'm not ok with asking the user remove one driver to make another card work.

The confusion is my fault. At some point I just noticed I had been testing on multiple systems. After that I wanted to find out whether or not the bug was video card specific. It turns out to be such and Matrox seems to currently have the error, so concentrating on Matrox in future will probably make sense.

In that case I opt to test it with Karmic once it has been released, and if it doesn't work I retest it with Karmic+1, when I happen to have that at hand. I'm not going to take the risk that someone might not work on it before Karmic, even if I tested it. The time when this gets fixed is not that crusial for me.
