in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Standardgrafikkarte"
        Driver "vesa"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

   DefaultDepth 24
  ...
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1600x1200" "(pitch" "1600)"
        EndSubSection

so obviosly the coice from boot was ignored.

Could you attach your Xorg.0.log from the livecd-session? Also, could you try if changing the Driver to "via" works (ie. does X start at all with it)?

[mherweg (m-herweg)]

I changed "vesa" to "via" in xorg.conf and it did not work.
I was not able to test different resolutions & color-depth, because i had no text-console in this live CD.

I use the "openchrome" (kernel+xorg)Driver in kubuntu 6.06 and it is very stable. playing videos and using 3D accel. is a bit tricky but works.

I got the feisty shipit CDs yesterday and tried to install on my computer.

Get the same problem, my LCD says "Out of range".

Does this still occur on gutsy-beta? Also, we include openchrome in Gutsy main now, so if you find that driver solves your issue, please install it and let us know the result.

Closing the bug due to no reply from the reporter. Besides, Hardy does not use xresprobe anymore.
