To check it's not 64-bit related, I installed 8.04 hardy alpha 5 i386,
with the same results: activating the ATI prop.driver ("fglrx") followed
by a reboot, results in no screen output at all; the monitor on/off
light goes into orange blinking mode instead of steady green light.
So: it's not 64-bit related.
Pressing CTRL-ALT-F1 results in a blinkinh, grey screen with some lines
spaced by about 1 cm.
Pressing (CTRL) ALT-F7 after that, results in a low res GUI saying
"Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode". I can then select VESA at
800x600.
While typing this, I realize I should have saved /var/log/Xorg.0.log,
which I didn't. But see below.
To repair this, on reboot I selected the second boot option ("safe
graphics"?) and selected 'xfix' which brought back my 1280 x 1024. In
System -> Administration -> Screen and Graphics, I *can not* see which
driver is now used; all parameter boxes are empty.
After this boot, /var/log showed this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$ ls -al Xorg.0.log*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75888 2008-02-27 06:54 Xorg.0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72225 2008-02-27 06:41 Xorg.0.log.old
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$
I have included Xorg.0.log.old; hopefully it contains the no-output-
logging.
