Sorry for being late, I wasn't available this weekend. Here's the
xorg.conf I posted before. I haven't had a chance to put 9.10 on my

how things went and methods I may have taken to get it working.

The Screen is not splittet any more, but now it does flicker very often. Looks
like a global refresh from the Window Manager.
I tried Ubuntu 9.04 again, this effekt does not happen there. So it seems to be
9.10 specific. Any explaination or a solution for this?
Thanks

I tested it this morning with ubuntu 9.10. Still the same problem - splitted
screen.
Still the same solution: copy the xorg.conf file to /etc/x11 restart gnome -
its working again.
Thanks again.!

Thanks mightbej, and sorry no-one has got back to you all, I have been
very busy. calcprogrammer, can you attach the xorg file, but attach it
as a patch with the checkbox for it checked, this can be set Triaged,
moved onto the xorg team, and hopefully implemented! Thank you.

Posting again to note that I just used this config to attain a correct
resolution on my a22p, in crunchbang, derived from 8.10ub..
Surprisingly, the split up screen only happens on startup prior to the
fix, and is corrected at the login screen and further.

Thanks to CalcProgrammer1, who posted a working xorg.conf-file, I can now for
the first time in years make use of

After a great experience with my old Thinkpad A21P and Ubuntu 7.10, the
move to 8.10 was a disaster.
1) My router uses 64-bit WEP, and I could not connect.
Networking was all messed up after the upgrade, and nothing would work.

@CalcProgrammer:
Thanks for all of your help. I have a system than I can use with the
open office application that will boot up in only a couple of minutes.
I can use Ubunto , but I will not be able to connect to anything via a
wireless connection.
I agree with the no cost thing, though since I was in high school at the
time I bought my A21p (used on eBay cause it was cheap and I wanted a
laptop), I figured a $20 network card to get it all working was worth
it. Hopefully a Marvell driver will come soon so you can use wireless

I use a Netgear W511T WiFi card without any problem with my A21p. It
worked out of the box without any modifications. Perhaps W511 is
produced in several versions?. I thought it has a Atheros chip.

@CalcProgrammer:
Using installed version 8.04.1, I managed to copy your xorg.conf file.
I then shutdown the system and rebooted.

I am not sure about updating to 8.10 until I can figure out what is
going on.
Looking at the bottom of the laptop, there appears to
Just look at the back of your A21p. Is there a cover over the Ethernet
port? If there is, you have the modem only card, if not, you have the
full combo card.
8.04 and 8.10 both have Linux drivers (not having to use Windows ones)
for most network cards (WiFi). Plug in your card and go to

The ethernet part worked when windows 2000 was installed, but I have no

Here's my working xorg.conf for A21p (ATi Mobility Rage 128 M3,
1600x1200 LCD). It was made by Screens and Graphics in 8.04 but also
works in 8.10, which I am using now.

[intrepid] Ubuntu 8.10 will not boot
In response to Socrates470BC:
Using Ubuntu 8.10, all I can get is the following is a bunch of error
messages. See Picture at:
http://www.ratingsworld.co.uk/public/Ubuntu4.jpg;
What kind of networking card does your A21p have? They had a few
different versions (all of which are miniPCI cards).
Disregard the first xorg.conf, this one supports OpenGL acceleration
(can only use 16 bit color if you want accelerated 3d though, so this
one will only use 16 bit color).
