Reportedly no longer happening, in the upstream bug report. If anyone can point to the patch that fixed the issue, we can certainly consider cherrypicking it for inclusion in Jaunty right now. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = In Progress -- Blank screen when GDM starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272877 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

Hello Bryce I did what you said and I'm attaching the output here. I just snatched the radeontool-package from Jaunty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/radeontool) installed it and used that instead, that way I didn't have to compile anything. I presume that gives the same results. If not please inform me and I'll try compiling it from source instead.

[Bug 272877] Re: Blank screen when GDM starts
Thanks Rune, radeontool in Jaunty* can be used to assist in debugging these kinds of issues where the screen blanks on start. After installing it, you run it like this: radeontool regmatch '*' regdump_good.txt radeontool regmatch '*' regdump_broke.txt Run it two times. Once when you have a working screen (for any driver), and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into the sick box remotely). Attach both of those to this bug report, and we can then forward this issue upstream. Thanks ahead of time! [* Note: radeontool is available in earlier versions of Ubuntu but is too old; if you need to run it on an older version of Ubuntu, you can obtain and build it from the upstream git tree at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/] ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- Blank screen when GDM starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272877 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 272877] Re: Blank screen when GDM starts
You can change the driver to vesa by getting to a console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or is it Alt+F1? I can't remember). Then shut down GDM by typing: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then you edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with for example 'nano' by typing: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf There should be a Device-section that looks like this (there might be more lines of text between Section and EndSection, but mine just looks like this when using the Intrepid Alpha 6 Live CD): Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device EndSection In this section add a line with the text Driver vesa. Doing so with the example above would make it look like this: Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Driver vesa EndSection Now start GDM again by typing: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start -- Blank screen when GDM starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272877 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 272877] Re: Blank screen when GDM starts
Same problem on my machine: ATI 2400 with LG 226WTQ. After GDM starts, the screen is blank and the monitor goes standby. I don't have an idea how to change the driver to vesa, so I can't verify this workaround. The only thing I did is pressing Alt+F1 and typing sudo reboot. -- Blank screen when GDM starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272877 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
