Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I just installed a Xubuntu 8.04 on an Amino M 6500 As VGA card this laptop has a "Silicon Motion, Inc. SM720 Lynx3DM", X chooses the siliconmotion driver. But The display resolution is not correct, it's always 640*480. See this forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-138110.html I think this thread is about Ubuntu 5.10, but nevertheless this bug should be fixed ;-) I don't know if it has something to do with it, but there are problems switching from X mode to text mode via Ctrl-Alt-F(x) as well. You never see text, just black, and the system is unable to switch back to X again. (but maybe that's another bug) I know this is a very old laptop - but maybe someone knows how to give it a fast fix. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- incorrect X resolution with siliconmotion driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238564 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
