** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-vesa System with S3 ProSavage8 running 8.04.3 LTS crashes on logout The 8.04.3 LTS system runs Ok, but crashes when switching to a text console, when logging out (to change users), or when shutting down. (See below) This is the same system mentioned in comments under my name in bug #217004. Since that report, I installed Debian instead, then recently tried to install Ubuntu again. The display and display controller were not recognized when trying to boot live CDs from 7.10 through 9.04. I ended up being able to boot the 6.06.1 LTS desktop CD, and install from that. For this version, it took several probes for the software to determine the proper display mode. I had selected 'safe mode' and an explicit 1024x768 resolution in the boot menus before installing. This system ran successfully, but on each boot it took several attempts for the driver to determine the correct mode. Then I did the online upgrade to the latest LTS version: Show Ubuntu version and kernel version DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS Linux billy 2.6.24-24-386 #1 Fri Jul 24 22:05:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux This system, after the upgrade, boots successfully. The screen resolution is arrived at more quickly. I was able to install apache2, php, mysql, etc for a web site. However, any action involving changing to text mode or a console display results in the system crashing, with a blank screen. The system becomes inaccessible over the network, either through http or ssh - it's quite dead. So - ctrl-alt-F2 etc to a console - crash. Logout - crash. Shutdown - crash. This is with the VESA driver - I later obtained an updated xserver-xorg- video-savage driver from Tormod Volden which solves the problem. This system is set up to triple-boot among XP, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD. I just installed Xorg and Gnome on the FreeBSD partition - the vesa driver on that exhibits the same problem. I will attach config files and logs collected shortly after experiencing the crash.

From comments to bug 217004: From Tormod Volden: Peter, I updated the Hardy xserver-xorg-video-savage package on https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa to the latest version, so you can try it (I haven't tested it myself). From me to Tormod Volden: Tormod - installing your savage driver solved the problem. After installing it, I disabled Xorg running at runlevel 2 by renaming the symlink to gdm in /etc/rc2.d and restarting the system (with the reset button this time), then booting and determining that 'reboot' works properly from the shell, with Xorg and the vesa driver disabled. I changed 'vesa' to 'savage' in xorg.conf, and tried startx from my user account, and determined that shutdown worked fine. Then I renamed the symlink back again, and rebooted again. After that, I can logout, switch to a console and back, reboot, etc properly. It turns out that the vesa driver with FreeBSD 7.1 (running Xorg and Gnome also) has the same problem, running on the same computer. I haven't tried a savage driver on that OS yet. -- When using vesa driver system with S3 Inc.

I booted the Karmic alpha 4 CD in safe mode, and X came up eventually in 800x600 resolution, apparently using the savage driver, after trying vesa first. The log is interesting ... a lot of tests resulted in a useable mode selection. I would certainly appreciate the revival of the old boot-time screen mode selection from 6.06 and 7.xx versions, in this case!

Actually, I was able to insert the xorg.conf file while running from the CD. I mounted the disk partition with /etc/X11 on it, and copied xorg.conf into the live CD's /etc/X11, switched to a text console, and restarted X with 'service gdm restart'.

Thanks, this means that the Karmic savage driver is OK, so you do not need to file a bug for it. The need to set frequency ranges manually is because EDID transfer fail (getting monitor information through the monitor cable), which I do not think is the driver's fault. It is the server's fault that the fallback resolution is only 800x600. The Xorg.0.log.vesa above is actually using savage. You said it tried vesa first, is there an Xorg.0.log.old using vesa?

To log in on the live CD, the username is ubuntu and the password is empty. If you get something on the screen so you see what you're typing, you can just run xrandr --verbose xrandr.log.
