Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
My graphics has gone kaput on Karmic. Machine: IBM X40 Graphics: Intel 82852/855GM Int. Graphics Device (rev 02) Docking station: X4 Ultrabase My machine has got stuck in low graphics mode after an error. Background ----------------- The graphics have been working fine on Karmic with the exception of some issues relating to an external monitor and X40 docking-station. But this combo has led to a more serious problem. Usually, redocking with external screen on would cause the system to tell me there was a problem resolving the screen resolution. If I tried to reset it with the GUI screen resolution tool, it would tell me that software acceleration would be required. I would decline to do this, because such requests were not normal, and reset the machine instead. The graphics would be back to normal on reboot. The error-causing event --------------------------------- Instead of ignoring the prompt for software acceleration, as I usually do, I accepted it. The system then gave the following error: "Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure them yourself." Outcome ------------- On reboot, the system says the graphics aren't working and I can only operate in low graphics mode. P.S. ----- ----- Bug reporting problem ------------------------------- Now I have nearly completed my bug report, I see that it says under this window " "xorg (Ubuntu) guidelines: Please report bugs against xorg with this command: $ ubuntu-bug -p xorg For more tips on effective bug reporting against Ubuntu Xorg packages, please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting and thanks ahead of time!" I used the following command: $ ubuntu-bug xorg I shall go back and use the -p to file a report. But seeing as I've got this far with the one I was already doing, I'm going to send it in case this is the most effective option.
