On this test version of Kubuntu Intrepid, my monitor goes black after about 30 seconds. Normally I would expect the usual keyboard selection etc. to appear, but the last video I get is the boot menu itself. The monitor indicates no signal.
This happens whether I use the "install" or "live CD" options, and regardless of whether I choose the "Safe video" mode with F4 (this is usually necessary for me due to my weird monitor). So it's possible that safe video mode is broken - I'm not sure. |

My graphics card is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
The attached monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 170MP. Historically autodetection by the installer fails so I boot in "safe video mode" and supply my own xorg.conf later. This has worked for me through Hardy.
My motherboard is an Asus K8V-X SE with an Athlon 64 2800+ installed.

Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old from after attempting to boot with the -ati driver specified in xorg.conf? Also, please attach `lspci -vvnn`; the default lspci output doesn't include al lthe pci id numbers we need.
Another thing to try is disabling compiz; sometimes X boots up properly without it. |

Thanks for testing all those things.
One other thing to test, is to leave dri and glx enabled, but disable compiz (and easy way is to 'chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz') and see how that looks. |

Aha, I should have noticed this sooner - you've got an AGP system, and your symptoms almost exactly match a known issue with -ati on AGP. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#ATI AGP Mode Quirk
Please try this. In your xorg.conf, set the following:
Option "AGPMode" "1"
Also try values 2, 4, 8. Sometimes your BIOS will include AGP settings - make sure it is set to the factory default for this testing (since we want to find a combo that works "out of the box").

Jeff,
Yes, it was fixed fairly late in the release, post-beta. However if you've done the online updates you should have all the necessary bits and pieces. I'd appreciate it if you could re-try the safe video option, just to verify that issue is gone.
However, the -ati issues are the ones I'm more interested in getting squared away.
I've gone ahead and forwarded this issue upstream to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18871. Please subscribe to that bug report, in case upstream has additional questions or wishes you to test something. Thanks ahead of time!
Meanwhile, I've written a short troubleshooting guide for 'no signal' bugs, and it would be helpful if you could run through the steps, to see if you can get a functioning system at a lower resolution or something with glx enabled. If so, then that hints that there is an improper modeline being setup for your monitor.
Also, have you ever tested this with a different monitor? It would be a useful data point if the issue was seen to be specific to that monitor, vs. if it occurs with other monitors. |

As per the upstream bug comments this seems to be a kernel issue rather than X, so closing. |
