Here is a deb including the aforementioned patch, could someone test this? http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/bug127008/xserver-xorg-core- dbg_1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu7~ppa1_i386.deb
Since this occurs during installation, I'm not sure how easy this is going to be to test... Possibly switch to a terminal early in the installer, install the deb, and then continue the installation? If someone knows of a better procedure for testing, please share it here. The description of the patch is, "Screen size changing should leave FB alone when X is inactive." I'm just making a wild guess that perhaps at some point during installation, one of the packages does a screen size change before X has been made active, which then affects the framebuffer which for this hardware results in the screen corruption described in this bug. -- Alternate install of Tribe-4 corrupts video display when installing packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
