** Description changed: Fresh install of Kubuntu 8.10 on an Compaq Presario 5000 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro that I added. Now I have both integrated graphics and an AGP video card, and no way to disable either option in the BIOS. Using the S-Video port of the Radeon connected to a Sanyo DS27425 television, I get a blank screen instead of KDM. In order to get a working KDM, I had to execute the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg This created a skeleton /etc/X11/xorg.conf, since the default file was completely blank. I then looked at the output of sudo lspci for my ATI card and found two lines that began with these numbers: 01:00.0 01:00.1 I then used the first one (it was a guess) in the form of "PCI:1:0:0" and placed it in the Device section of xorg.conf as: BusID "PCI:1:0:0" (Note that using the second number as "PCI:1:0:1" did not work.) - For good measure, I referenced https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/SVideo - and also added to the Device section for S-Video support: + Additionally, I referenced https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/SVideo and + also added to the Device section for S-Video support: Option "TVDACLoadDetect" "TRUE" - This gave me a working KDM. + This gave me a working KDM; however, KDE won't login without freezing + unless I add: - Unfortunately the Netgear MA311 that I placed in the computer doesn't - work, either, (bug 304303) or I'd have uploaded logs and used the - recommended ubuntu-bug xorg command.
