Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I have an ubuntu with KDE desktop too. After an apparently succesfull upgrade to 9.10, xserver fails to identify my screen mode, using openchrome (previous versions used VIA). The splash screen appears, but then it falls back to a text terminal. From the logs I see it somehow discarded all possible screens, many for unknown causes.

My computer is an Averatec 3200, with AMD Athlon XP-M 2000+, 512 DDR333 RAM, nothing fancy for graphics. Screen resolution 1024x768, horizsync 28-51, vertrefresh 43-60. I tried using these settings in the configuration file, but they don't make any difference.

If I try to start ubuntu 9 with the previous kernel I get a message saying there is no theme for 1024x768.

Thank you very much.

Now it works by installing: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26710878/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903%2Bsvn741-1_i386.deb which incorporates the fix you told me :)
