I tried an install from an Intrepid CD on 2008-10-11 and the Chrome9 HC IGP still didn't work.
I could only perform a successful install by plugging a discrete VGA card into a PCI slot and hooking up the display to it, effectively disabling the CN986-based motherboard VGA. I then tried adding xforcevga to the grub menu.lst entries on the hard disk to get VESA, but it made no difference. Copying xorg.conf.failsafe over xorg.conf however worked. I could remove the discrete VGA and hook up the display to the onboard video on my MM3500 C7-D motherboard. The machine works fine with the VESA driver (using xorg.conf.failsafe). I conclude that the Chrome9 driver in the current Intrepid beta is broken and furthermore suspect that xforcevesa is not working. -- Ubuntu LiveCD doesn't start with a "VIA Chrome9 HC" graphic card and, when Ubuntu is installed, it works only with VESA drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
