I have the same problem. Some more details: When I attach an external display (Dell 1903FP) and press FN+F8 (to activate the VGA output) everything works fine on this screen. I tried a lot of things like twinview, clone, different resolutions and refresh rates. The Laptop display changes it's output but it's still garbage. Best description I can give: It looks like someone scanned a tissue in black and white. Sometimes just a small strip from the top to the bottom, sometimes it covers the hole screen, sometimes i just get random, mostly gray but sometimes orange (like the background) stripes. Weard and nothing like any bug I've seen before. My first idea was, that it might have something to do with the integrated webcam or fingerprint reader but I could confirm it. The display also seems to report strange values when using nvidia (perhaps the core of the problem?) like a max resolution of 540x480 and a negative refresh rate, while it works fine with the external display or different drivers (vesa or nv). I tried overriding these values but since Xorg ignores xorg.conf I hadn't had much luck yet.
The system is a new (2Days) old Dell XPS M1530 with a NVidia GeForce Go 8600M GT and WXGA TFT Widescreen (1280x800) TrueLife display. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Beta for amd64 with all updates in place. I tried the nvidia-glx-new package, envy, manual setup, displayconfig-gtk, nvidia-config, xorg.conf - no luck. If I can provide you with any further details please post here. -- nvidia-glx-new driver displays white screen of death https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208718 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
