[Bug 272406] Re: cannot start gnome X in intrepid (gray screen with horizontal thin flashing black lines)
Just a note that I get the same white screen with random flashing horizontal line segments on a Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 1GB (GV-R485MC- 1GH). I didn't see any rainbow patterns, though. This happens both in Intrepid and the alpha 3 release of Jaunty. Vesa does work, but can't set the resolution of my display, so text gets very blurry. -- cannot start gnome X in intrepid (gray screen with horizontal thin flashing black lines) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272406 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 272406] Re: cannot start gnome X in intrepid (gray screen with horizontal thin flashing black lines)
** Description changed: When I load up the latest live 64 bit ubuntu intrepid CD, I can't get into the GUI. When Gnome tries to come up, I get odd rainbow-like patterns around the edges of the screen fading into the center (this might be intentional, but I've never seen it in Hardy). Then a blank gray screen appears with intermittently flashing horizontal thin black lines. Hitting Shift-Alt-F1 takes me here to file this bug. I have an ASUS F8 Sp (F8Sp) notebook with ATI Radeon HD 3650 graphics card. Gnome works just fine on this laptop with the proprietary (fglrx) driver in Hardy, but not this new, more Intrepid version. Let me know if I can provide any other details.

Even if it's not the same bug as bug 267185, it's likely a problem in the radeon driver, changing to package xserver-xorg-video-ati. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xorg-server = xserver-xorg-video-ati -- cannot start gnome X in intrepid (gray screen with horizontal thin flashing black lines) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272406 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

This is possibly the same issue as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/267185 but it doesn't sound identical.
