I just made a fresh install of Gusty (v7.10) to a nw8240 laptop. The GUI started by the Live CD had the wobbly windows distortion mentioned above, but the text was still readable enough to complete installation.
Taking a cue from this thread in Ubuntu Forums... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421797 I installed package xorg-driver-fglrx, ran the command "sudo aticonfig --initial" and restarted the X server. (aticonfig overwrites the xorg.conf file to its own liking.) The display came up fine at 1920x1200 resolution on the LCD. No need to manually tweak xorg.conf. I also appear able to switch screen resolutions just fine in System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution. Since I just installed Ubuntu, I'm unable yet to tell whether direct rendering (or for that matter any HW acceleration) works with this setup. -- [X700] Really bad sync on HP NW8240 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/20283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
