Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
A Logix LG-1731D monitor capable of 1280x960 starts up in 1400x1050 mode. The GUI is unusable due to enormous panel fonts (see attached picture).
The attached Xorg.0.log warns of a changed PIPEASTAT register and a failure to allocate texture space.
This monitor works fine with an old nVidia card and the nv driver.
Cheers.
version: Xubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Live CD
