As a workaround I added nomodeset to the kernel parameters. As the bug came up with Lucid, I give just a short sketch how to solve the problem with gub2. (standard in Lucid)
Edit /etc/default/grub add the parameter nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. This line is in my configuration now: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash nomodeset" Then run sudo update-grub in a TTerminal Just to try if it works for your case ye you can edit the entry in Grub once before booting (see instructions at the bottom of the Grub boot menu at boot time) the line to edit is similar to linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=....... ro splash nomodeset write nomodeset to the end of this line (as in the line above) -- VGA screen sometimes is croped and has dithering DVI Screen is always normal ATI x800 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579028 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
