Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
On a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on a Dell D600 laptop the virtual consoles which are normally accessible through CTRL-ALT-F[1-7] are blank / black. Nothing at all is shown, they are just dead. However, Xorg works without any problems, I can login through GDM and use a Gnome session. I know that the blank virtual consoles are there because I can login "blind" and then see the logged in user when I use "who" in gnome- terminal. This is my graphics card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Device 011d Flags: bus master, VGA palette snoop, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at c000 [size=256] Memory at fcff0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at fc000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: radeon Kernel modules: radeonfb, radeon The problem persists no matter what monitor I use, the builtin laptop screen, an external 22" tft from Dell connected with VGA or DVI or an Eizo tft connected by DVI cable. It also does not matter if I use my docking station (which has the DVI connector ) or not.
