Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Downloaded Feisty Herd 5 desktop x86 image, checked hash, burned and verified a
cd.
The testing machine is a laptop: Dell Inspiron 6400, an Intel Core 2 Duo with a
Radeon Mobility X1400 and 1280x800 widescreen display.
Launching the Live CD, at the end of the boot process a dialog box says that
gdm cannot start, and the boot ends with console login.
The error message after a startx is:
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
The solution is editing xorg.conf and adding "HorizSync 36-52" and
"VertRefresh 36-60" in "Section Monitor". Giving a startx, the desktop
appears with normal resolution for the vesa driver (cannot use radeon
driver on this machine).
This appears a minor bug, but a non-geek user would have troubles
debugging it. Also, Feisty Herd 3 and 4 went straight to the desktop, so
this is a regression from older releases
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
