I also recently did an intrepid install on an insprion 8000 with the split screen problem While I followed other tweaks to xorg.conf which I found on lists, the key was to reduce the color depth: In Section "Screen", add DefaultDepth 16 (instead of 24) If need be (or preferred), add (restricted) modes Modes "1024x768" "800x600" -- Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247771 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

I Had the same problem on a Inspiron 8000. I found this google link which fixed the problem: http://linugadgetech.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubuntu-video-configuration-on- dell.html Essentially you need to modify the xorg.conf file to get a workable video for X server.

Peter, I'm amazed you found anything on the Dell site so long after they stopped supporting the I8000. I saw something in another post where a guy used a utility to convert an rpm file to a deb-compliant file. Maybe I can find it (the utility, I mean). This has been a real bugaboo! I've spent hours and hours on it and gotten nowhere. I installed Envy and it couldn't identify the correct driver. The driver details for the r128 driver as described on sourcentral (man.sourcentral.org) fit perfectly with the hardware (although it only supports 24 bit color). Someone said he thought it was a problem with x.org rather than the driver - who knows? The redhat ati driver really interests me, though.

Hi Jason and all others. I just did a quick search with google with frase "install linux on dell inspiron 8000" witch gave some intresting results though most of the links are tips from older versions and other distros they might be possible to make similar hacks in ubuntu. All testing should be done with caution and all material is provided as is from those external sorces offcourse. I have not yet been able to test any of them myself so any help with that would be apriciated by everyone here as well as any ubuntu specific hacks you make or find out. Still wondering what it will take to get dev attention or just status change on this bug since it now should be clear this isnt going away. Best regards to all! \St Pet __ Går det långsamt?

[Bug 247771] Re: Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display
Hello. I am new to ubuntu & linux but have significant computer experience. I have been having the exact same problem installing Ubuntu 8.10 beta on my Dell Inspiron 8000. With Normal Install I get the same messed-up screen display that, although can be used, is extremely time- consuming/frustrating to navigate. Three vertical columns appear, consisting of screen areas that are out of place and the middle of the screen is not visible while the right of the screen is duplicated. Installing in Safe Graphics Mode the system loads but the correct screen resolution cannot be enabled (by me). The lspci - nn | grep VGA is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300] : ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M4 AGP [1002:4d46] I am not sure if this is anything new. I just wanted to add to the report my experience with the problem. I have exhaustively tried to find a solution within the support documentation and forums to no avail. If you have any suggestions or if I can be of any help, I would be happy to help solve this issue. Thank you.

I just installed kubuntu 8.04.1 Live CD on a Dell Inspiron 8000 and I had the same problem. The graphics card is ATI 128 Rage Mobility. But I found a solution! When I tried changing the refresh rate via System Settings -> Monitor & Display, I only had 800x600 and 640x480 as possible screen resolutions. So I went into the Hardware tab and changed the Monitor #1: to "LCD Panel 1400x1050" (by the way, this was a pain in the butt because of the screen issues!). Anyway, it displayed a warning that this combination hadn't been tried on this hardware. I said do it anyway (hit the OK button). It then told me to log out and restart the X Server, which I did. It booted up again in 800x600 resolution with the same problem. But, when I changed the screen resolution to native (1400x1050), it fixed the problem! No more crazy three column overlapping mess. I am new to Linux and ubuntu/kubuntu, but if you'd like me to post any files, just let me know. -- Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247771 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

It (the screen) seemed to flash more than before with the Ubuntu 8.04 stable version. Though the

darryl, actually the Xorg.0.log is generated when you boot up, so it's not something we can get off the CD. St Peter, could you see if yo ucan reproduce the issue on Intrepid and post your log file? -- Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247771 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

Hi! I'll try that. I'am quite new to 'nix OS'es so I need to read up on bug submitting and triaging and in generall on 'nix use and commands. If you have a short step by step guide it would help much and go much faster if I ever can get that much of control over the mashine to actualy be able to get any work out of it. In what ways does live cd and wubi installs differ when it comes to extracting log information? Is there other logs that might be of interest? To get these logs is it the only way to let ubuntu boot all the way to GDM or can I boot into a shell and get some info that way? Is there a way to get an Ubuntu wubi install to force boot into Safe graphics mode? I think that is the only way if at all to be able to solve this problem. Thanks for all help and incurragement. \Peter --- Den tis 2008-08-19 skrev Brian Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Från: Brian Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Ämne: [Bug 247771] Re: Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support > ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display > Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Datum: tisdag 19 augusti 2008 23.57 > If you could extract the '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' file > from the Live CD > that would be quite helpful. > > -- > Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI > Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247771 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct > subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” source package in > Ubuntu: Incomplete > > Bug description: > Updated: > > Used with live cd of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and Ubuntu > 8.10 Alpha 4 Intrepid Ibex > > Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI > Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault > some hardware info (not complete) > > Dell Inspirion > PIII mobile 900\700Mhz speedstep, mmx > 20 Gigbyte HDD > ATI Mobility 128 M4 AGP 4X 16 MBytes RAM graphics adapter > 256 Mbyte RAM > Joystick mouse + mousepad > 3 Com 10\100 Mbyte ethernet Mini PCI MIC.

[Bug 247771] Re: Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display
I've got an identical machine that I wanted to load Ubuntu onto - and had the same issue. Specifically, during install the screen goes to full-screen mode, 800x600, and the screen 'folds' over itself so to speak - and the installation boxes do not fully view. I downloaded the 8.10 live CD, and it did the same thing. I then proceeded to install in safe-graphics mode and it displays as desired, but in 800x600 mode but not using the entire screen... Thought you might like to know. I've done a hardware test and will upload the results shortly. -- Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247771 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

[Bug 247771] Re: Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display
I have the same problem. Just installed on Inspiron 8000. The screen display is split in three overlappint "columns"--like three screens of the same thing (1/3 of a screen) overlapping each other. There must be a solution... but no one has posted anything. I'm a newbie to UBUNTU, although I'm familiar with HP-UX. I would imagine a driver would solve the problem; please do explain how to install, if there is such.
