ATI 9600 Vesa Driver Detection

[Stéphane Marguet]

I forgot to create this bug when installing Ubuntu 6.10 but I've installed Xubuntu 6.10 and I have the same problem.
Xorg use the vesa driver for my ATI 9600 card.

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Carte vidéo générique"
        Driver "vesa"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

lspci :
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary)

Unless the xorg.conf file was generated by Xorg -configure, this is an Ubuntu specific bug. Feel free to reopen if the former is indeed the case.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

can you try running "Xorg -configure" and attach the configuration file it produces.

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

Using Xorg -configure, the xorg.conf generated is recognizing the video card, the monitor (with the good horizontal and vertical refresh rate), and no more wacom devices (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bug/69113).

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

yep, so it is a fault in our scripts generating the conf.

Duplicate bug with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 card :

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

that's not a duplicate, different video card.

Please attach the output of 'lspci -vvnn'

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

Here is my lspci -vvnn

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

and the sudo lspci -vvnn

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Please try Feisty beta or later, it should work right.

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

I tried with the ubuntu-7.04-beta-desktop-iso386 cd and it doesn't work.
Vesa driver.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

You could attach /var/log/casper.log from the livecd session, that should show what went wrong.

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

Here it is :

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

ok, what does this command output:

discover1 --disable=serial,parallel,usb,ide,scsi --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

stemp@caderousse:~$ discover --disable=serial,parallel,usb,ide,scsi --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video
ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] XFree86 ati
ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary) XFree86 ati

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

this is just weird.. discover recognizes it as ati like it should.
