Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. Upon reboot, the display came up
scrambled.
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
# apt-cache policy xorg
xorg:
Installed: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18
Candidate: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18
Version table:
*** 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
rebooting and selecting the recovery option, I got a console.
# Xorg -configure
resulted in a signal 11.
and fglrx was in the later messages.
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, selecting to not use the frame buffer
did not fix the problem.
The 'Downgrade from 9.04 to 8.10' thread mentioned removing the fglrx
driver.
# apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx
followed by a reboot resulted in a functioning system.
The display is somewhat strange. If I move a window half off the
display to the right and back, the edge of the window is bent down until
I place it. If I move a window off to the left and back, the window is
smeared until I place it. Moving a window up and down results in
smearing and tearing until I stop moving it.
