I thought I had fixed the machine that was displaying 640 x 480 video, but alas, it is getting stranger.
The machine in question is a Dell Optiplex G270, with Intel 82865G graphics- video buffer set to 8MB in the BIOS. Initially, I could only get it to display 640 x 480 video. Based on recommendations here, I tried the INTEL driver, and there was success- it was putting out 1024 x 768. However, as time went on, weirdnesses popped up. The Ubuntu login screen is strangely distorted, as if it is wider or simply larger than 1024 x 768 and is being squashed. The monitor goes wonky and clicks a lot, as if it losing sync and regaining sync. And finally, Firefox crashes when using Javascript on that workstation. But if you log onto to the same account on a different workstation. It does not crash. A different monitor did not help. These symptoms do not show up when it is booted into Windows XP. changing x_mode_0, x_color_depth does not seem to help. The server is Ubuntu 8.04.1, 64-bit, though the LTSP environment is, of course, 32-bit. Any ideas? - Patrick Rady Administrator, npServ NEW (Nonprofit Enterprise at Work) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
