Today I re-installed Lucid alpha-1 from the alternate CD. Grub was properly updated so I can boot into either Jaunty or Lucid.
Initially, the login screen appeared to be around 1600x1200. When I logged in, the screen size was set to 1024 x 768, but the hardware cursor only ranged from X=0 to X=800 or so on the screen. However on observing icons in the upper panel, I could see the system was mapping the cursor position to the full screen size, so I could actually click on the various icons (including a logout icon) Adding Option "SWCursor" "true" to an xorg.conf file I created solved the cursor position problem, at the expense of the flickering of the cursor as it was moved. Note that I observed a similar discrepancy in position with the hardware cursor, when I originally reported the bug after updating alpha-1. The only package I've added since reinstalling has been openssh-server, so I can log in to the laptop when there are screen problems. The state of tty switching is: using Alt-F3 to switch to a console gives me a multicolored screen; using Alt-F7 will switch back to Gnome. I don't plan to update for a few days, unless there is likely to be a fix for some of these problems. -- [K8M800] Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps, ttyN screens don't work, on Averatec 3280 with openchrome driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 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
