2007-03-05 12:40:08 Andrea Colangelo title X broken in Feisty Herd 5 Live [regression] X broken in Feisty Herd 5 Live
2007-03-05 13:04:18 Andrea Colangelo description Binary package hint: xorg Downloaded Feisty Herd 5 desktop x86 image, checked hash, burned and verified a cd. The testing machine is a laptop: Dell Inspiron 6400, an Intel Core 2 Duo with a Radeon Mobility X1400 and 1280x800 widescreen display. Launching the Live CD, at the end of the boot process a dialog box says that gdm cannot start, and the boot ends with console login. The error message after a startx is: (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. The solution is editing xorg.conf and adding "HorizSync 36-52" and "VertRefresh 36-60" in "Section Monitor". Giving a startx, the desktop appears with normal resolution for the vesa driver (cannot use radeon driver on this machine). This appears a minor bug, but a non-geek user would have troubles debugging it. Also, Feisty Herd 3 and 4 went straight to the desktop, so this is a regression from older releases Binary package hint: xorg Downloaded Feisty Herd 5 desktop x86 image, checked hash, burned and verified a cd.

2007-03-30 11:31:38 Timo Aaltonen xserver-xorg-video-vesa: statusexplanation Yes, you are right. Don't know why it fails now. Since Herd5 didn't have the new vesa-driver, the fault must lie in xorg-server.

Since Herd5 didn't have the new vesa-driver, the fault must lie in xorg-server. this seems to affect some other X1xx cards as well.. Enfortunately, the fix didn't wasn't accepted in Feisty final, but maybe as a post-release update.

Enfortunately, the fix didn't wasn't accepted in Feisty final, but maybe as a post-release update. Please test the xorg-server which you can find here (no 64bit packages, sorry): http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/dpkg/xserver-xorg-core_1.2.0-3ubuntu7.1_i386.deb so, to test it you'd need to install using the alternate-cd and then install that package by hand (dpkg -i), and restart gdm. It has a patch from Fedora which makes the server not to reject VESA-modes before the driver has had a chance to try them.
