Hey martin, Trying again to resolve the geode graphics issues.
I am not using an LTSP client.... I am just trying to get a xubuntu- desktop running. I did the purge: apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-amd I included your repository into my sources.list, did aptitude update, upgrade, clean and autoclean I saw your respository accessed but noticed that during my reboot that there was a message: My display is now completely messed up and unusable-- looks like the display and the computer are talking completely different resolutions -- just a bunch of colored lines and dots all over it. Am I missing something?

Stephen, does the experimental package in my PPA for Hardy resolve the issue for you? -- unable to change screen resolution.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234898 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “xserver-xorg-video-geode” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, just installed 8.04 Xubuntu -- running Xfce -- my machine is a DECTOP -- it supports screen resolutions up to 1600x1200 -- I am using a 1280x1024 screen, but the install was not able to discern that higher than 800x600 was available and is using the default in the display preferences and doesnt give me any higher resolutions I can pick. Tried changing xorg.conf -- no luck, also tried menu.lst (ok during boot) switches back to 800x600 when the splash screen comes up. I had previously installed 6.06 LTS from the ALT disk and it worked just fine at 1280x1024. -- unable to change screen resolution.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
