Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Problem has persisted from at least 7.10 Gutsy through 8.10 Intrepid, Live CD
or installed, restricted driver or open source.
When installing or upgrading Ubuntu, I am unable to get any screens to display
at higher than 800x600 resolution without a custom xorg.conf file (see
attached). On occasion, display modes of 1650x something and/or refresh
frequencies of 50 to 54Hz - which are undisplayable on my Etronix 1710B LCD
monitor (1280x1024 max resolution) resulted from attempting to use the
automatic settings. At that point, I reboot with the Live CD, remove the
revised settings and start again from fresh.
Once I have my custom xorg.conf file installed, as long as I don't
attempt to change the nVidia driver, my system has been stable and
usable. Since this happened every time I have attempted to install or
upgrade Ubuntu since Dec. '07, I thought I should report it. The same
problem affects Mandriva One 2008 Spring, Debian Lenny and Knoppix 5.1.1
and 5.3.1. Many Live CD versions simply don't work on this machine
configuration. I have a motherboard ATI graphics system, but was unable
to get ANY Linux system to work with both sound and graphics until I
installed a PCI express nVidia GeForce 6200 card and disabled the
motherboard system.
