Re: [Bug 59595] Re: Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted
I suggest that if you know how you use the alternate CD to install and how to install fglrx from the terminal after X crashes or in a chroot ( as I did ) because outside of this bug macbook pro support is *much* better in Feisty, even screen brightness and keyboard brightness controll work out of the box. If you need help installing fglrx from a chroot / after X crashes on the installed system, I can give detailed instructions.

In Feisty I just get a black screen with nothing at all. I'm not really sure this is an improvement :) Kubuntu just looks sexy on Mac hardware.

Still doesn't work with Ubuntu 7.04 here and my 17" macbook pro. Aftert Select* (both: normal and safe graphics mode) the display becomes black with backlight in VGA mode. If I select a resolution (F4), it goes a bit further, but X crashes during startup.

Macbook pro video works with fglrx not supported by ati driver (open source/reverse engineer) not supported by vesa driver (support broken in feisty release https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 ) Which means we cannot verify if this is fixed or not in feisty due to the other bug, I think -- Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, I have a macbook pro with everything working, One of the goals of Feisty was intel mac support so I would try installing Feisty.

[Bug 59595] Re: Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted
When using the method posted by Jordan when I press CTRL+ALT+FN+F1 I switch to the console but instead of getting a shell prompt I just get a blank screen with the backlight on. I can type in sudo apt-get update and when I hit enter the CD drive spins as if it is executing. Unfortunately I'm unable to edit xorg.conf like this even if I managed to type all of the shell commands. There must be some other solution or way to get to a place to install the fglrx driver. Any ideas? -- Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted https://launchpad.net/bugs/59595 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 59595] Re: Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted
Yes, although the install CD does not work yet without tweaking some things there are step by stem instructions but they don't seem to cover this problem as I guess not everyone has encountered it so use these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook until the part where is says "**Select *Start or install Ubuntu"* then follow these steps : Connect to the internet through ethernet then get to a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+fn+F1 then run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx sudo depmod -a sudo aticonfig --initial sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ## That last command should open a text editor with your xorg.conf, at the end of this file add these lines: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "0" EndSection ## now exit nano by pressing ctrl+x, when asked if you want to save type yes and hit enter, you will now be back at a terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ## You should now be at a working GUI and you can finish the install following the instructions up to the point where is says " To enable mousekeys emulation, turn the lower Enter key into Right and Middle Mouse Buttons:" as the rest is macbook specific and won't work on a macbook pro ( wow this post turned out to be a lot longer than I planned it to be :) On 2/3/07, Michael Nischt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I had the same problem with the Edgy Live CD, hopefully this is fixed > soon. > > Btw. is there an easy way to get edgy working inlcuding hardware > accelerated OpenGL on a MacBook Pro 17 (intel cure duo, not core 2 duo) > atm? > > -- > Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted > https://launchpad.net/bugs/59595 > -- Edgy: MacBook Pro: X is unusably distorted https://launchpad.net/bugs/59595 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same problem with the Edgy Live CD, hopefully this is fixed soon.
