No apologies, you found the card, you found that its not in pci.ids and you found that xorg-video-radeonhd exists.
Thats the good news. The bad news is, I tried them, they are installed and still don't work. Thats not experimental as I cannot even start with any experiments. You can use the drivers from AMD (http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux64/linux64-radeonhd.html) but they lack power management (the machine freezes on suspend to RAM and hibernate), don't work with compiz and are extremely sluggish. I use ATI's drivers for working but would like to have the open source version that is maintained in Ubuntu. Now that we have that settled, lets reiterate what we know: If there is a problem with the video driver X (or is it Gnome) reverts to a default setting that offers maximum screen resolution by using a vesa driver. I suspect that the driver reports an error on load that triggers the fallback. So, how can I help you find the error message. Here is the Xorg.0.log from the ATI proprietory driver. Maybe you can make use of this and find some differences. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10079878/Xorg.0.log -- [M76] Gnome desktop resolution incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152179 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
