OK, now home, tried workarounds, and can confirm that this does indeed seem to be a duplicate of bug #444139. I did the following: First I enabled KMS as per comment #3 in bug #444139, which helped things noticeably, I was able to go to Normal visual effects without a crash, and still had my background, so that was definite progress. Window animations were still very slow, however. Then I edited my xorg.conf as follows - the Monitor and Screen sections are from Alexandre, for my PLE2407HDS monitor, and the Device section is from bug #444139 comment #47 since I have a Radeon 9200 PRO.

OK, as before, I removed fglrx entirely, modified xorg.conf and rebooted. Finally, some success! I can now use Firefox in the native resolution.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 473114] Re: Iiyama monitor's native resolution does not display properly
Oh la la, finally! LOL! Anyway, about the no background no icon stuff, it's surely nautilus which didn't start, so when it happens, you just make Alt + F2 and you type nautilus in the launch an application. I guess the repetitive crashs of the xorg server, changed some stuff in the session preferences, and so that's why nautilus didn't start. Well, there is no error in your xorg.conf, only some little warnings which are not so important. Direct rendering is enabled, so it should be ok now. Ah yeah, just thinking about one thing for the slowness of the windows, just go in Système -- Préférences -- Apparence, check the visual effects and select Extra, then all your desktop and your windows will be handled directly by your graphic card by AIGLX, so it will be faster.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 473114] Re: Iiyama monitor's native resolution does not display properly
Good idea about Nautilus, but in fact it was running - I've attached a screenshot just to show it. Your tip about the Appearance/Visual Effects preferences helped discover a new problem :o) So, here are the steps I went through: Original state: xorg-radeon driver with Alexandre's latest xorg.conf, native res 1920x1080 in Karmic, display as shown in screenshot with Visual Effects prefs set at Normal. Slow windows on open/close/move. - Changed Visual Effects prefs to Extra. The windows became a bit faster, but still slower than before (meaning that they're slower than on Jaunty, and slower than with the fglrx driver on Karmic). - Changed Visual Effects back to Normal just to compare again, windows were indeed a bit slower than with Extra. - Changed Visual Effects to None. My background and icons appeared! (A screenshot for reference, I can only add one attachment, so it's a link to my site: http://www.fraise.net/images/PLE2407HDS-radeon-bg.jpg ) The important step, because it caused a session crash and threw me to the login screen (the crash was replicable): - Changed Visual Effects prefs from None to Normal. Ubuntu displayed the message Searching for drivers, then the session crashed. - I logged in and tried that step again. Second session crash, this time without the Searching for drivers message. - I logged in and, again, tried changing to Normal visual effects. This time no crash, but the background reverted to blank and a message asked me if I wanted to keep the changes (no... Visual Effects at None is more usable). Voilà. (Also, Alexandre, pas de soucis pour l'anglais !

Well, in fact, it would be interesting to see the xorg.log with the extra effects activated. In fact, it should work like in Jaunty.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 473114] Re: Iiyama monitor's native resolution does not display properly
I tried that (deactivated and uninstalled fglrx, used that xorg.conf - merci beaucoup pour ça) and... again it hung on startup, just before the splash screen. I had to revert to the initial xorg.conf. The xorg radeon driver still does not work properly with this default xorg.conf at 1920x1080 in Karmic, so I reinstalled fglrx at least temporarily. (I don't know much about xorg.conf files, so I don't know what else to try.) It's really quite strange since this monitor worked fine on Jaunty, I didn't have to install or configure anything manually.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 473114] Re: Iiyama monitor's native resolution does not display properly
Well, you could try a simpler xorg.conf to see what happens. I'm surprised the last one I posted didn't work, because it's the xorg.conf I had used for years on Gentoo Linux with a Radeon 9500 (without the input devices sections which were removed because now input devices are handled by HAL instead of X.Org). Anyway, I'm pretty sure of the monitor section, so you could try of this xorg.conf with the open source radeon driver, the same as the original one, but with the monitor section updated: Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device EndSection Section Monitor Identifier PLE2407HDS HorizSync 29-81 VertRefresh 55-76 Option VendorName IVM Option ModelName PLE2407HDS Option DPMS true Option PreferredMode 1920x1080 Option TargetRefresh 60 Option Position 0 0 Option Rotate normal Option Disable false Modeline 1920x1080 148.50 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125 -hsync +vsync EndSection Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Monitor PLE2407HDS Device Configured Video Device EndSection Anyway, if it doesn't work, if it's still hung on startup, then you reboot in a recovery kernel, and then you get the root prompt. After you use the command startx, it will try to start X. If there is a problem, you will finish after some time to be back at the root prompt, but at least you'll get the X.org.0.log for the last X session in /var/log .

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 473114] Re: Iiyama monitor's native resolution does not display properly
Okay, I tried that xorg.conf, but unfortunately, it didn't change anything for the display with the xorg radeon driver (Ubuntu did boot correctly with it, however). I went ahead and re-tried with the previous xorg.conf you wrote for me, knowing it would crash. I tried startx in the recovery kernel, but no Xorg logfile was created for the crash... I checked all of the Xorg logs in /var/log/ and the only logs for crashes are for the very first xorg.conf you posted (with the fglrx driver). Strange. I've gone ahead and posted the latest successful Xorg.0.log, who knows, maybe it can help.
