Stephen, can you try logging in with GNOME, instead of XFCE4, and see if it crashes the same way? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- unable to change screen resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234898 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

Re: [Bug 234898] Re: unable to change screen resolution....
Yes it does. Here is some more info for you I still get the following message during boot: xfb: :00:01:1 failed to map frame buffer or controller registers If I install Intrepid server, then just my normal minimal working system... xorg, xdm, xfce4 -- with all the latest patches -- it crashes X and I posted all the files --- this happens on both Hardy and Intrepid. I recently installed xubuntu-desktop and was able to get the desktop working on Intrepid, using a [EMAIL PROTECTED] screen resolution (the default). X crashes about 4 or 5 times, then I get a message the says Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode OK Clicking OK I get another message that asks me to choose low graphics/reconfigure/troubleshoot -- choosing low graphics it restarts the display again and this time manages to bring up xfce4. (Then I spent a day removing everything get back to xorg/xfce4 but have to use gnome -- never got xdm to work. I use these systems so that students can install LINUX / play around and not have to worry about screwing up -- so it would be nice to iron out these issues in the standard release. Thanks!

Hi -- I tried installing the intrepid release from CD but wasnt able to because it cant detect my hard drive -- I ended up reporting this separately at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291757 However, what I was able to do is install 6.06 Alternate Server, then upgrade to Hardy, then upgrade to intrepid. At this point I was able to boot and log in. Then I installed intrepid, and during a reboot, the screen goes black and I get nothing. Tried all different vga settings 771/791 etc... nothing works also tried to install xfce and xdm -- still nothing works. I attach the log files for you.

Actually, I notice that you are using an old Media GX. This chipset is covered by the xserver-xorg-video-cyrix and xserver-xorg-video-nsc driver. However, some PCI ID conflicts might prevent this from working as intended. Please add my PPA to the sources.list in the LTSP chroot, then do a full-upgrade using aptitude, followed by rebuilding your LTSP boot image.

Wait, are you talking about the splash screen, or X itself? You talk about it not finding the -geode driver, yet you also talk about it defaulting to 800x600, which seem to be conflicting problems. If you are talking about the splash screen running at 800x600, then this is a known problem.
