Public bug reported:
Hi,
There are several severe stability problems I have noticed with Ubuntu
12.04 LTS 32-bit and ATI Page 128 PRO card.
-Several flickers and junk is displayed during boot up and ACPI S3 State
resume
Please, eliminate these kinds of problems because this kind of issues are
preventing Linux from competing with Microsoft Windows for the desktop PC
market.
These aren't crashes, but still, they are huge eyesores.
- Starts up with very high screen resolution when it boots
This causes problems when I try to move the computer from a very high
resolution monitor (22 inch LCD monitor supporting 1600 X 1050) to a moderate
resolution monitor (17 inch CRT minitor supporting 1024 X 768 at 75Hz).
Shouldn't Ubuntu sense that the monitor being used doesn't support 1600 X 1050
screen resolution?
- Generally, the redering is somewhat slow
Is there any acceleration with ATI Rage 128 PRO?
It seems like screen is being rendered by VESA driver according to System
Settings -> Details -> OVerview because it says, "Graphics VESA: R128."
- ACPI S3 State resume doesn't work reliabily with LiveCD or doesn't at all
when installed to a hard drive
ACPI S3 State resume worked fine with Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32-bit with LiveCD.
When tested with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit, it works some times, but does freeze
fairly frequently when resuming.
It doesn't work at all when Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit is installed to a hard
drive.
In this particular case, the computer will simply reboot when I try to resume
from ACPI S3 State.
I installed all the updates published to date (as of 6/23/2012) via Update
Manager.
System Configuration:
- Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHz (Willamette)
- ASUS P4T-E mainboard
* BIOS Revision 1007 (last release)
- 512MB PC800 RDRAM (256MB X 2)
