Public bug reported: I've tested all versions of Ubuntu since Warty on my aging Acer TravelMate 291 XC and never before Jaunty did I get this problem: The Intel 82852/82855 gfx card is not recognized and xorg falls back to 'vesa'.
I can see that the gfx is working; the progress bar during boot shows correct maximum resolution (1024x768). But entering the login screen and from there on, we're in 800x600. I've searched for fixes and found none that worked, so I edited conf manually, adding 'intel' for Driver and ' "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Configured Video Device" Monitor "Configured Monitor" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection ' which worked; it's just not optimal. xserver-xorg-video-intel is version 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Probe for Intel 82852/82855 gfx card fails - introduced in Jaunty? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407959 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
