[Bug 293041] Re: X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV
I have been playing with John Fremlin's read-edid. And it looks like the TV is not responding the the EDID call by the PC. I expect this is what is causing all the problems! Here is the output: ./get-edid | ./parse-edid ./parse-edid: parse-edid version 1.4.1 ./get-edid: get-edid version 1.4.1 Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f00 bx=0x0 cx=0x0 ./parse-edid: IO error reading EDID This tallies with my previous comment, and I need a way to force the output resolution and tell Xorg not to bother with EDID. I know you could do this with previous xorg versions, by editing the xorg.conf file, but since this has been somewhat deprecated, I'm not sure how to test this. -- X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293041 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

yes, read-edid 1.4.1 is broken, it doesn't read my monitor either... someone else took over maintaining the package and released a version 2.0.0, which hasn't made it into ubuntu yet... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/read-edid/+bug/242043/comments/2 anyway, xorg doesn't call the read-edid tool to find out the monitor's capabilities, so I don't think that's at fault... however, you might be on the right path, in the sense that the resolution might be the problem to set the screen resolution, just call gnome-display-properties... -- X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293041 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 293041] Re: X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV
Unfortunately I cannot use gnome-display-properties as I am faced with a black screen. However...I have in the meantime solved the problem with the help of the nice people on the X.org IRC channel (Many thanks mzz gami) It turns out that X was trying to output a resolution of 1152x864, which is not supported by my screen. I have added the line Option PreferredMode 1360x768 to my xorg.conf file and now it works. However they tell me that this is still a bug and is something that needs to be fixed in X -- X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293041 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 293041] Re: X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV
I may be wrong but I have a feeling that the line (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 304 x 228 Is something to do with the problem. I expect this lies outside the accepted input range on the TV and thus is showing up as black.

I have now down a complete reinstall of with Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition. This worked without issue. I then ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop At boot and shutdown I see the ubuntu Logo with the progress bar but the screen is blank when the machine is fully powered on. Ctrl+Alt+F# gives me the correct terminals and that works fine However, if I ssh into the machine with the -Y flag (enable X11 forwarding) then I can run X programs without issue. -- X won't start in 8.10 - D945GCLF Panasonic TV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293041 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 will try it with a standard monitor when I get a chance. I suspect it will work too, but as I said it worked with the TV previously.
