Hi John, Although Bryce is a very much real person, I am afraid that the above messages from him were all sent out by his automated scripts, and that your report has got little "human" attention. Unfortunately the Ubuntu X team is swamped in bug reports and the support for these very old cards is often not on the top of the list.
What is the current status of this bug with the latest Ubuntu release? Can you please run "apport-collect 393129" which will attach log files to this report? At the best, we would like to have your card working out of the box, which means without any xorg.conf, so if possible, run the command after deleting xorg.conf and restarting X (log out and in again). If you can try the development release "Natty" it would be even better. If the original issue of corruption has gone, and we are left with a wrong resolution, an option would be to start from scratch with a new bug report, to have a clean report without old issues. You can do this by running "ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-mga". BTW, the Debian Lenny xorg.conf should be pretty much equivalent to not having one. It seems like the X server does the wrong decisions when dealing with a card with little memory. It should maybe default to 16 or 8 bit colors in this case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-mga in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393129 Title: Corrupt screen, HP Brio, Matrox G100 (display: NEC LCD1860NX and others) _______________________________________________ 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
