Note that further comments were added to Bug #689377 today, as further problems appeared. I don't think these problem were due to the display driver, but they do affect testing of display problems somewhat, and vice versa. For example, if the xorg.conf file is removed, it's not possible to go into safe mode, because the selection of safe and other modes is in a bottom bar, which is off the screen when the system tries to start in 1600x1200 mode.
So THIS bug is very much alive in the sense that being able to get a useable screen mode at initial startup is important. On another system, poor resolution detection at startup resulted in a 800x600 screen on a 1024x768 monitor - this was acceptable, since adding an xorg.conf file meant that only the login screen was at the lower resolution, and that was quite useable. But this is not. The situation would be much worse with KDE, with the panel at the bottom of the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 Title: [K8M800] Maverick 10.10 live-CD login failure, ttyN screens don't work, on Averatec 3280 running Lucid _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
