i can confirm this bug for 3 different notebooks using an ATI x1xx
graphics adapter.
in gutsy, i could run the live cd without problems. it used the vesa
driver in a 1024x768 resolution. after installation i could then switch
to the properitary fglrx driver with 3D and 12800x800.
now in all of the hardy alphas, ubuntu shows the bootup sequence, and
when it tries to start the x server, the display goes black and nothing
happens. when i switch to another terminal and type "startx" to start
the server manually, it gives me this error:
"(EE) VESA(0): No valid modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found.
giving up."
This, i think, is a major issue, since it seems to affect most of the
standard Centrino (Duo)-Notebooks with an ATI X1300, X1400 and X1600
adapter. many users won't be able to use the live cd and install ubuntu
because of this.
Since i would love to tryout and test the hardy alpha, is there anything
i can do for a workaround on notebooks with an ATI adapter?
Thanks for your help
