Binary package hint: xserver-
This occurs on trying to boot the intrepid 8.10 CD as a live CD on a gBox computer
Display controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
Display: Samsung SyncMaster 570S TFT
While trying to boot the CD, eventually the display controller is unable to find a mode that works on the Samsung display. The Samsung display will indicate this by flashing small windows indicating that the controller output is incompatible with the display. I have found no way to get to a shell to attempt to fix the situation, e.g. by changing the xorg.conf file.
Under hardy (actually installed), what happened is that a compatible 800x600 mode was found, and I could add an xorg.conf file which was generated by booting a 7.04 live CD, restart X, and get to the 1024x768 mode supported by the display.
Under intrepid, I was unable to get to the point where I could copy over the (possibly) 'good' xorg.conf.
See bug # 212510, and some bugs listed as duplicates to that, for some further information - this bug report is specifically for this controller/display combination under intrepid; 212510 is listed as fixed for the original hardware combination, but is clearly not fixed for this hardware combination and others I mention in that report.
