Got an update. I tried a fine tune on my xorg.conf (attached). Adding the statement: Option "DRI" "False" into the "Device" section fixes the corruption of virtual consoles, so now the text appears perfect. This works with any kernel I tried: 2.6.34rc7, 2.6.34 (final), 2.6.33-4, 2.6.32-22 (bundled with lucid lynx) whilst still enabling tv out using `mplayer -vo dfbmga clip.avi' brings to desktop corruption and still gdm can't run at 1280x1024.
As a side note, disabling DRI slows down 3D performances, so now glxgears running at full screen reports 76 fps (enabling DRI I get 190 fps). ** Attachment added: "My xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48832786/xorg.conf -- matroxfb causes corruption in both virtual consoles and xorg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581466 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
