2009-01-02 19:51:05 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation Thanks, can you also attach the output from 'lspci -vvnn' and 'xrandr --verbose'? Also, could you attach two Xorg.0.log's - one from when you're booted up properly in a high resolution, and a second from after you've blanked the screen at the lower resolution? (This second one can be gotten after rebooting - it's named Xorg.0.log.old). Basically, I want to see if anything is written to the log when you do the resolution switch.

2009-01-15 01:57:43 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation radeontool in Jaunty* can be used to assist in debugging this issue. After installing it, you run it like this: radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_good.txt radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_broke.txt Run it two times. Once when you have a working screen (for any driver), and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into the sick box remotely). Attach both of those to this bug report, and we can then forward this issue upstream. Thanks ahead of time! [* Note: radeontool is available in earlier versions of Ubuntu but is too old; if you need to run it on an older version of Ubuntu, you can obtain and build it from the upstream git tree at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/]

2009-01-17 10:00:35 Bryce Harrington description Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, I can no longer switch to lower resolutions than 1400x1050 on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop when using the Open Source ATI Radeon driver in X. When switching to a lower resolution the screen goes black. Lower resolutions work without problems on the terminal screens (CTRL+F1 to CTRL+F6), they also work without problems in X when using the vesa driver. I tried adding the Option "NoDCC" to xorg.conf, but Xorg.0.log showed that this option was ignored. Adding the Option "IgnoreEDID" also didn't make a difference, but I'm also not sure if it was actually used. Attached is my current xorg.log.
