Ha! I have been struggling today with this issue on exactly this type of machine, although I'm using Hardy because I'm trying to setup UbuntuLite (it's U-Lite now but I think the version I'm installing was called that)
I couldn't shut down X either - it would crash with the white issue described above. The VESA driver fixes my problem. I can quit X easily. I hadn't thought of looking at Xorg.0.log - I did so and found the refresh rate settings in it. Updating xorg.conf to use those allowed me to get 1024x768 with the s3virge driver, but it had a shaky look to it - perhaps it's an interlaced mode? The Vesa setup looked better. And again with the s3virge driver I couldn't shut down X. So I'm going back to the Vesa driver. I'm attaching a zip file with files from the different scenarios, and the results of lspci as requested. The "low-res" files were copied after succeeding the first time with vesa so it could be that the DefaultDepth setting is not how it was, but I hope that won't matter at this point. I hope this helps, and will be happy if you can suggest any changes which succeed in improving display quality on my machine. ** Attachment added: "490xcdt-x11.zip" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22822403/490xcdt-x11.zip -- s3virge driver does not work correctly on Toshiba 490XCDT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300767 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
