I have just tried booting the Ubuntu 9.04 Beta CD (as a live CD) on this Averatec 3280 laptop. There is a significant improvement in the situation, but it is not quite perfect. What happens is that a large range of resolutions, above and below the optimum resolution of 1024x768 for the LCD display on this laptop. Initially the largest resolution is displayed, which has a problem: the display only shows the 1024x768 upper-left corner of this virtual display. Under Gnome, this is not a disaster, since the screen resolution can be set to 1024x768 from the System menu.
However this would be a serious problem under distros using KDE, such as Kubuntu or Knoppix, since the panel is at the bottom of the screen, and would disappear. I have experienced that problem with the latest Knoppix, in fact. Also, I have not checked to see if something can be done about this at boot time, or when actually installing. And I have not yet checked to see what I can do by editing xorg.conf, for 9.04 Beta. Incidentally, there are some other displays which I've reported similar bugs about, which show up with a maximum 600x800 resolution - erring the other way - on a 1024x768 display. -- Installer fails to recognize display on Averatec 3280 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
