Public bug reported:
System: Asus eeepc 1201 HAB netbook
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
current kernel: 3.20-29-generic-gae (problem occurs with all previous kernels
as well.
When the system first boots up. the screen is completely blank. I have to press
<Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Fx> (where x=1 through 6).
Then I have to press <Alt>-<F7> go get X. However X then displays only on the
top half of the screen. Moving the cursor up and down shows that the desktop
display is wrapping around on itself vertically. Moving the cursor up or down
the length of the screen shows the cursor wrapping up from the top or bottom. I
can get around this by going to the top of the screen and logging off. Then the
screen comes back in full screen mode and I can log in normally. I can also do
this by going into one of the ttys and finding /usr/bin/X and then killing the
process (as root or sudo).
The only video mode available in X is 1366 x 768. I suspect that if I
chould change this, I might be able to get X to load correctly the first
time.
Ubuntu used to have an inittab file available and also an Xorg.conf file
available that you could acrually use. The man pages for X and boot
still indicate these pages exist and can be used, but this is appartnely
not true anynmore. (At least, I can't find them in any usable form). I
would also like to know how to configure the system to boot up without X
and then try starting it up manually with startx.
