Bug Description

Hello,

I've tried 20070415 feisty live CD, and i got a screen corruption on my desktop computer. Here are some screenshots :

It's ok on my laptop anyway. The screen resolution should be 1280x1024 but it's 1024x768 in xorg.conf. I've tried to modify it manually but the screen stays corrupted.

Here is the original xorg.conf :

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

My hardware video card is a Nvidia Geforce 7600GT. My monitor is a Philips 190G.
If you need more hardware information, logs, tell me.

Kal

I've tried to boot in "safe" mode and it worked (it use vesa driver). If I try to reconfigure xserver-xorg with dpkg and i choose nv drivers, then my screen get corrupted when X appears.
The problemwas present with dapper/edgy too.

Thank you.
