sorry I was slower to get the attached information. I recovered an old drive with 8.04.1 and plugged it into the box, reconfigured X with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-org and run a few tests.
general procedure: - booted 8.04.1 in recovery mode - run xfix from the recovery menu - continue startup - if the x display was scrambled, used CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a console - sometimes even the console was scrambled. cycling once through CTRL+ALT+F1 CTRL+ALT+F2 CTRL+ALT+F3 CTRL+ALT+F4 and then again CTRL+ALT+F1 brought it back - log in - copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a new folder - changed physical display connections - rebooted and restarted the procedure I did this three times, with three configurations. display0: 1920x1200 Acer P243w display1: 1280x1024 Benq FP931 folder first: - display0 on DVI, display1 on VGA - result: display0: scrambled colors, display1: black folder second: - display1 on DVI, display 0 on VGA - result: display0: black, display1:scrambled colors folder manual: - display0 on DVI, nothing on VGA - result: 1280x1024 on display0 - only xorg.conf saved in manual/xorg.conf.single.1920.dvi The I used nvidia-settings. It recognized properly the two displays and set them up at the right resolution. I did tweak a few settings manually and stored xorg.conf.nvidia in folder manual. My Box has 6GB RAM. 512MB are used by the G-Force 6150. ** Attachment added: "config and log files as described above" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18568809/x.zip -- 8.10beta installer video issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277624 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
