It turns out that the right xorg.conf works (but not the autogenerated from Hardy, and for Gutsy it must be present before the install configures xserver-xorg or it'll hang), provided the NoDDC option is present. I had that option when I tried in Hardy, but I got the xorg.conf wrong (it really sucks that you have no means of generating xorg.conf for cases where autodetection fails; this has been commented on on other bug reports, but you *really* need to do something about this. I would consider myself an advanced user but generating an xorg.conf without prompting (like that of dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in gutsy and before) including not autodetecting, but selecting driver and general monitor type (e.g. 1024x768 @ 60Hz)) is quite more than I want to have to deal with. dpkg-reconfigure doesn't involve learning near as much as writing xorg.conf from scratch).
An I forgot to say that I'm using the alternate installer. The xorg.conf I used in gutsy (and hardy when the default one failed) comes from http://michaelminn.com/linux/toshiba1800/ and is as follows: # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file) # # Custom file by Michael Minn Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1" Driver "trident" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "NoDDC" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "ToshLCD" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30-71 VertRefresh 50-100 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "ToshLCD" Device "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice" "Configured Mouse" EndSection Which I changed to : # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file) # # Custom file by Michael Minn Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1" Driver "trident" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "NoDDC" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "ToshLCD" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30-71 VertRefresh 50-100 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "ToshLCD" Device "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log.hardy" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14025687/Xorg.0.log.hardy -- [HARDY] NoDDC option doesn't work for trident cyberblade/i1 resulting in system lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
