Going back to Andrea Colangelo's comment, can someone who understands this better than I sanity check this?
Xorg.0.log showed the monitor could support 1280x800: (II) VESA(0): Modeline "1280x800" 71.11 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 802 808 823 -hsync -vsync The bios returned SEVERAL 1280x1024 modes: Mode: 107 (1280x1024) Mode: 119 (1280x1024) Mode: 11a (1280x1024) Mode: 11b (1280x1024) Mode: 163 (1280x1024) Mode: 164 (1280x1024) Mode: 165 (1280x1024) Mode: 166 (1280x1024) Mode: 124 (1280x1024) but then it concluded: (II) VESA(0): Total Memory: 256 64KB banks (16384kB) (II) VESA(0): Generic Monitor: Using hsync range of 28.00-51.00 kHz (II) VESA(0): Generic Monitor: Using vrefresh range of 43.00-60.00 Hz (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "1024x768" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "1024x768" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "800x600" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "800x600" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "640x480" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "640x480" (no mode of this name) (WW) VESA(0): No valid modes left. Trying less strict filter... Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X11/X(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80c8641] 1: [0xffffe420] 2: /usr/bin/X11/X(InitOutput+0x9a4) [0x80a8304] 3: /usr/bin/X11/X(main+0x27b) [0x8076c7b] 4: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0xb7d20030] 5: /usr/bin/X11/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x1ed) [0x80761b1] Is that backtrace because of a possible bug in the "less strict filter"? It seems to me that an available 1280x1024 mode of the video card should be able to be masked off as a portal into a 1280x800 display, or am I just being silly? -- [regression] 7.2 broke vesa: "No matching modes found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
