** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xorg
Just installed xubuntu on a rather old Compaq Armada 110 (laptop) and it
works pretty well (with 512 MB RAM) except that when X starts, the computer
kind of stalls.
Kind of:
* display is turned off (backlight turned off)
* replies to ping
* caps lock led is turned on/off when caps lock key is pressed
* display won't turn back on after hitting Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc or -F1
This is my first installation of Ubuntu on this laptop (it used to run
Debian without X)
After reading
http://www.nabble.com/xorg.conf-for-Compaq-Armada-110-td18295187.html i applied
the same workaround:
Add «Driver "vesa"» to «Section "Device"» in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. That however
doesn't use the full 1024x768 resolution that the screen is capable of, but
only 800x600 (640x480 is displayed in Xfce's settings manager).

+ 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade i1 (rev
6a) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
+ Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation CyberBlade i1 AGP
