yes, this bug is resolved. It seems that when each ubuntu flavor finally upgrades xorg to 7.2 or higher video detection problems go away. BTW 7.10 rocks !!! good job guys ! pass this on to who ever for a well deserved pat on the back. there are some small problems with 7.10 video configuration, but I am sure it will get straightened out now that the crunch is over. I'm not a fan of the launchpad bug reporting system, I will be happy to send you an email reporting some of the refinement problems I am experiencing, if you want me to ? you should be aware that upgrading 7.04 to 7.10 with restricted nvidia drivers enabled does not allow the target system to be correctly configured and re-boot results in some very low grade video and an xorg dialog that is not able to resolve or fix, this results in format and clean install. but fresh installs work very well. I was finally able to detirmine that if you boot into recovery mode and edit xorg.conf to specify vesa driver instead of nvidia and reboot, then GDM starts fine and proper configuration is then possible....this new xorg dialog that shows up for failsafe configuration does not work at all. it goes through all the motions and seems like it worked, but it does not seem to save the new configuration.
There is one small problem with Xubuntu...it has been reported 3 or 4 months back and thats how I figured out the work around. sorry, can't remember bug # but terminals still crash in 24 bit mode and need to be changed to 16 bit mode on older HP pavilions with on board intel video. ( I just spent an hour trying to find this bug #, and could not find it, sorry - thats why I hate your bug reporting system, never can seem to find what I really need.) at any rate, this is still a bug with the new 7.10, but the bug this email inquired about seems to be resolved. I have no problem testing and reporting bugs for ubuntu, but I hate your bug reporting system, it is not a pleasant experience for people and makes it hard to report bugs.
