** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome An attempt to install or run Intrepid 8.10 from the desktop CD fails while the system is trying to identify the display hardware. System: Averatec 3280 laptop Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL rev 39 (see Xorg.0.log below) Display: 12.1" XGA LCD When attempting to run the desktop CD as a live CD, the installation finally seem to hang up, after some cursor flashing. I was unable to switch to a console to get information. However, when selecting the Install choice, eventually the screen started to function, showing an Ubuntu screen background and a pointer; at this point I was able to ctrl-alt-F2 into a console, and was able to save the Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf files which had been generated. Xorg.0.log shows that the system goes into an infinite loop while trying to find a screen mode. This is an extension and rewrite of bug 186103, which was created for Gutsy. Back then, I gave up on installing Ubuntu, since I was able to install Debian etch (4.0). Since the old bug was marked as being for xserver-xorg-video-openchrome, I have chosen that package for the new bug. - I have attached Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf files from my attempt to - install Intrepid, also the same files from the Debian etch that is now - installed on the system. The first attachment (here) is the Xorg.0.log - file. + I have attached Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf files from my attempt to install Intrepid, also the same files from the Debian etch that is now installed on the system.
