Bug Description
When booting from a gutsy tribe 2 CD (md5 sums checked on download and CD), hardware detection will fail to:
* Set the correct resolution of the machine (1280*800)
* Initialite DRI
* see bug #122652 (garbled lines on screen)
My hardware is a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, with a Pentium M processor and a ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo, which has had hardware acceleration since the Edgy pre-releases.
Inspection of /etc/X11/xorg.conf will reveal that, although DPMS is chosen for the monitor, the maximum resolution allowed is 1024*768. Adding "1280x800" to the display subsection fixes it. However, and regarding hardware DRI, I copy-pasted the ati section from my working Feisty ati config (just in case) and restarted X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. However, I got no direct rendering. Grepping EE and WW from /var/log/Xorg.0.log yields the following:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Modprobing ati-agp and restarting X didn't help.

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for reporting this bug, and for reporting on the existing report for the garbled lines bug. The resolution mis-detection bug is well reported elsewhere, so for this bug let's focus on the DRI initialization issue.
Can you please attach your /var/log/ Xorg.0. log, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and output from lspci -vv?
