On Karmic beta liveCD, the bug is not present, there I can successfully switch to a VT with Ctrl-Alt-F1. So this nails it down to three cases:
1) There is a difference between beta and present 2) There is a difference between liveCD and permanent installation 3) We have all unknowingly changed our configuration in a way that makes the bug appear. For case 3, I did try the restricted fglrx drivers, which I then uninstalled later. The installation/uninstallation was done through jockey (system -> admin -> proprietary drivers). Also, at boot time, during a few seconds, I get a screen showing blue pixels in the middle of the screen. This was not present on the live-CD either, and I think it was not present at the first times I booted the permanent installation either. It's hard to know if it is related, but if it is, it rules out case 2. Case 1 could be confirmed or ruled out using a daily-live CD. Would be interesting to know if you have similar experiences. -- changing to terminal shows garbage ATI 4870, 4550 [RV770] [RV710] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448299 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xserver-xorg-driver-ati. _______________________________________________ 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
