I tried a Lucid installation with monday's daily iso and almost the same device (One A115) and didn't experience your issue. However I was able to reproduce it with adding video=viafb to the kernel boot line. It seems that the viafb somehow breaks the openchrome X driver…
You could try the following kernel boot options and report the results: video=vesa vga=0x312 - video=vesa should avoid the viafb framebuffer driver being loaded, and openchrome selecting the wrong display for X; - vga=0x312 will avoid the broken VTs/Plymouth if your device behaves like mine. If you can confirm this works for you, the bug should be affected either to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome which is the default X driver for this device, or more likely to the linux-image-xxx package for wrongly assuming that the viafb module would work with a VIA chip. :-) -- Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 boot corrupts screen on VIA VX800 graphics (A110 netbook) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538430 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
