[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 313701] Re: [KM400]black screen after logout
Ok, short answer: yes and no. Full story: I've updated my copy of the openchrome source to svn revision 817. I ran './configure --enable-debug --prefix=/usr' and then proceeded with make. I uninstalled the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package and installed the self-built openchrome driver with checkinstall. Then the machine was rebooted. Things that worked before still worked, so I could log in to my desktop with GDM. I suspended the machine, resumed it and logged out. I got the, to me, familiar black screen instead of the GDM login screen. The corresponding Xorg.0.log file is attached as Xorg.0.log.before. Then it hit me that I did not, as requested, put in the Option ModeSwitch new in the xorg.conf file. I went to a console and logged in, added the necessary Option line to the Device section and did a 'sudo restart gdm'. Amazingly, life got back into my dead login screen: the backlight turned on and I could see, well, colors. I've attached a picture I took with my camera of the screen so show what I mean (gdm_restart.jpg). The corresponding log file is attached as Xorg.0.log.after. So, this Option does make a big difference. Unfortunately the display is unreadable. I then rebooted the machine to report on this issue here, but unfortunately I could log in at all anymore, since the login screen was garbled and mostly black. I made a picture of this as well (gdm_boot.jpg). I couldn't even get to a console anymore, and had to reboot in single mode to comment out the Option ModeSwitch new line in xorg.conf. After a reboot, everything is back to the way they were. Thank you for your continuing effort!

Here's a status update on this issue with karmic koala: in the meanwhile, I've upgraded the machine to karmic alpha 6 + latest updates, and I've installed a self-built openchrome driver. The driver's version is 0.2.903+svn798. The issue still arises in karmic in combination with this revision of the openchrome driver.

I've checked the BIOS of the machine I'm experiencing difficulties with, it has an option for 'Display', which I can set to 'auto' or 'both'. I *think* this has to do with the possible external display.

I think this bug exist because the TV is enabled. Try disable TV and try again. Here is very old patch, which should help with TV problem: http://www.openchrome.org/trac/attachment/ticket/141/OpenChrome_VT1625_a.patch It need update (it was created for revision 748, now we have revision 775).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 313701] Re: [KM400]black screen after logout
I've tried getting the VESA driver to work with my laptop, but I only get an error message from X stating: Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. The symptoms are the same as those reported in bug #258764. I did not find a workaround. Then, I downloaded svn version 774 of the openchrome source code and performed the build/install cycle. I immediately got a working desktop back. I logged out and was able to log in with gdm again. Subsequently I removed all Xorg.0.log files, suspended the laptop and resumed it after a few seconds. This went just fine, I had a fully working desktop. Then I logged out of my desktop session and the screen remained black. Through a TTY i tried to start X directly which showed that X was already running for display 0. The resulting Xorg.0.log file that was created after logging out is attached. I'd be happy to do more testing if necessary. ** Attachment added: black_screen_Xorg.0.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30358715/black_screen_Xorg.0.log -- [KM400]black screen after logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313701 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 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
