In the meantime I found out that the second problem - the black screen after starting X - does not appear when I use the on board (Shuttle FB51 in a SB51G) VGA output, only when using the output of the AGP DVI Out Card (see http://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/cv21.htm). Since the quality of the analog VGA output is not as good as the DVI I prefer to use DVI.
At the moment I can not use the Ubuntu System. But as far as I can tell with standard xorg.conf there weren't any errors regarding the problem in Xorg.0.log. Perhaps I am just missing an xorg.conf option for telling the driver it should use DVI output. But I expected the driver to autodetect on which interface a monitor is connected. Also since there IS an (all black) video signal on DVI I tend to believe that it is a driver problem. I can post the outputs you requested from dapper and edgy live cds in a week or two. -- Black screen during install after configuring of xserver (on certain intel graphics cards) https://launchpad.net/bugs/41106 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
