Log file from a failed session. Several notes about this file: -- you will see some vague evidence for another graphics adapter in the log; its an nvidia at pci 4:0:0 Please note the mga problem occurs even when the nvidia card is removed from the system ... I checked!
-- Note that the xorg.conf file uses a stanza indicating that VideoRam 32768 This is required; without this, I get the following oddball behaviour: early device probe prints out that the card has only 2 MB video ram; then just a little while later, the video bios is read, and reports that the card has 32 MB ram. Later still, during video mode selection, it rejects all modes requiring anything more than 2MB (i.e. it rejects almost all modes) i.e. it behaves as if it "forgot" that the 32 MB was reported. ** Attachment added: "xorg log file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-mga/+bug/900111/+attachment/2619950/+files/Xorg.0.log -- 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/900111 Title: X server on Matrox g550 is all black (no output) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-mga/+bug/900111/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
