2008-11-06 Thread Jeff Trull
Thanks for the suggestions, but it looks like specifying EXA vs. not specifying it makes no difference to my observations, nor do the AGPMode settings. As for bug 261977, was it fixed after alpha 6? I haven't retried the safe video install since then. My current Intrepid build is off the

261977 was actually a problem in the xserver's logic for selecting the driver for a card. Basically, there was a routine that looked up the card's pci id to see what driver to use, and if it didn't find one - meaning the driver didn't support the card, it left it blank. Later on, there was some

Aha, I should have noticed this sooner - you've got an AGP system, and your symptoms almost exactly match a known issue with -ati on AGP. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#ATI AGP Mode Quirk Please try this. In your xorg.conf, set the following: Option AGPMode 1 Also try values

I don't believe so. It seems that 261977 is a case of a specific nVidia driver being chosen for a device it does not support. However, there is a bit in there about the nv driver claiming a device, and preventing vesa from subsequently doing so itself... that could be related if the analogy to

In fact compiz is not even installed on my machine... I'm a KDE 3.5.9 user (KDE4 video quality was terrible, the subject of a different bug). Hopefully this will change with Intrepid. What driver is used during safe video mode install? I'm really not that concerned about getting radeon to work

In that case this isn't really an ati bug, is it? Although I'd be delighted for that to finally work. I filed this bug as kubuntu-meta thinking perhaps safe video (failsafe?) was not choosing the vesa driver in Intrepid. -- intrepid alpha 6: no video during install

Thanks for testing all those things. One other thing to test, is to leave dri and glx enabled, but disable compiz (and easy way is to 'chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz') and see how that looks. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High Status: Incomplete =

Thanks, Bryce. I will try to get this information for you on my current Hardy environment. Just to be certain, though, I should clarify that this is a problem with Intrepid install and I have no way of getting log files from that (to my knowledge). Having to use the vesa driver under Hardy

Last line above should read I have attached my lspci output. Here is xorg.conf for your review. I don't think it's very interesting - the important part is replacing the driver with vesa. I wish I could remember why I needed to do this - a radeon driver bug was involved, I think. Maybe it's
