This bug did not have a package associated to it and had nothing to do
with ubiquity (IMO) so I set the package to xserver-xorg-driver-nv.
Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu.
The missing usplash screen bug you are experiencing is bug 147623. It will
always happens with usplash + nvidia geforce 8xxx + 64 bit. It is one high
priority bug which ubuntu people aim to fix before hardy final release.
Concerning the issue with the bad resolution, I suggest you to search in
launchpad to find duplicates since there is probably already some people
that has the same problems that you (nvidia geforce 8xxx cards are
pretty popular). I have a 8300GS card but this bug does not happen with
that card. Thanks for the information you provided so far.
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-driver-nv (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None = xserver-xorg-driver-nv
** Summary changed:
- Hardy a4: graphics on XPS m1330
+ [Hardy] 800x600 resolution with nvidia Geforce 8400M GS
** Description changed:
- Booting the alpha4 desktop CD for amd64 I just get a black screen at
- boot time after the loading kernel popup and a few lines of text. Even
- the background light goes off. Selecting a different text mode (e.g.
- vga=771) doesn't help. There is no moving boot logo.
+ Booting the alpha4 desktop CD for amd64 without usplash ( bug 147623 )
After a few minutes I get a popup saying Ubuntu is running in low-
graphics mode. I click on [Configure]. Model is Plugandpray, resolution
is set to 800x600 (the 1280x800 I might have selected at the boot time
is ignored). There is no 1280x800 screen to select from, either.
Next I select the Graphics Card tab, and chose the GeForce Series 8
driver. Back to the Screen tab I can select the generic 1280x800 LCD
panel now, select Widescreen monitor, and click [OK] twice. After that
I am left alone in text mode :-(.
Booting in safe graphics I just get 800x600 in vesa mode, AFAICS.
Please note that this laptop works fine with Unstable Debian, in text
mode with vga=0x318, and using either the nv or the nvidia graphics
driver for X. Kernel is 2.6.24-rc8 or newer.
