With the workaround from comment #37 (blacklisting viafb), my boot process completes without freezing [mentioned in my earlier comments].
[I realize that the following may not be related to this bug. But I have mentioned it just in case]: After the boot, I have to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to gdm [not at random]--- otherwise the monitor (HP M900) displays a message "Invalid Scanning Frequency" and I can see scan lines in the screen(this happens with and without an xorg.conf). After the ctrl+alt+del gdm comes up at the right resolution if an xorg.conf is in place (a low res screen otherwise). At present: 1) with neither the karmic kernel (2.6.31-19) nor the lucid kernel (2.6.32-20), Xorg is able to set my monitor resolution correct. I need to have a customized xorg.conf. 2) with karmic kernel (2.6.31-19), gdm is reached without the ctrl+alt+del quirk. -- [KM400] Black screen after boot, no text console possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518623 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
