I think i have a workaround. This is how i did it: Since there was no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/, i guess Xorg makes the condig up at runtime, i had to ,,make'' one first. For this i needed Xorg to shut down. So i opened a console by pressing ctrl+alt+f1, logged in and started a root shell with "sudo sh". Then i turned off Xorg, created a new xorg.conf, copied it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, changed it and finally restarted Xorg:
#> service kdm stop #> Xorg -configure #> cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf #> vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf (change device "radeon" to device "vesa") #> service kdm start The display is slow and most eyecandy is turned off, but at least it works. The problem is somewhere in the Xorg radeon module i think. -- System Monitor display is corrupt after upgrade to 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
