This (the original reported problem, not complete loss of video) affects me too on an i686 machine.
02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) (rev 01) Linux carlos 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 05:01:14 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux (I'm running Ubuntu Studio) DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.10" Only a problem in 1600x1200, which is my monitor's native resolution. So I run it at a reduced resolution, but I'd prefer the native. Nothing of note in any logs! It's as almost like the monitor cable gets pulled for a few seconds and plugged back in. -- Graphics display shuts off intermitantly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475131 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
