** Summary changed: - [fgl v5000] really bad sync + [X700] Really bad sync on HP NW8240
** Description changed: + I have a HP NW8240 laptop, 1920x1200 screen, with a ATI X700 graphics + chip. + The "ati" driver doesn't seem to know how to talk to this chip (PCI-E ATi FireGL V5000, PCI ID 1002:5653) correctly, so the screen is refreshing weirdly and blinking (like a CRT with bad sync sometimes does, but less overlapping garbage). Manually setting xorg.conf to use the "fglrx" driver (no other changes) makes X work OK, though there's no direct rendering. -- [X700] Really bad sync on HP NW8240 https://launchpad.net/bugs/20283 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
