And now OPTIONS has to be exported, and probably should be protected against being empty in the new file. So it becomes ${OPTIONS:-} and ${1:-} What else have I missed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu.

The bug seems to have "gone away" when using a DVD of an early March beta version of Focal Fossa 20.04. It boots very happily with no obvious display problems. Sorry that I could not track down exactly what the problem was. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I'm not so sure that it is a kernel problem. Bionic with the edge kernel 5.3.0-24 seems OK, although it has locked up once or twice. Eoan with kernel 5.3.0-23 misbehaves. Could the XFCE desktop be important? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages,

@Morten I think that all Ryzen motherboards are going to have UEFI firmware rather than the old BIOS firmware - even though everyone keeps using the old name. If it is your computer and you know what you are doing you could turn off secure boot. If you don't know, then don't do it. I grabbed

Workarounds include; use an older version of Ubuntu, use a faster monitor, use a video card (nVidia GT 710), use a mainline kernel 5.4.0-050400rc6-generic which also reports the VGA port as a VGA port. But using a mainline kernel and a video card xrandr reports a 77 Hz refresh rate
