The Hard Heron 8.04 Live CD still has this bug and the panels in Gnome do not span the whole desktop. All my reported assessment so far have been done using Live CDs.
Ok, now I upgraded my installed Gutys Gibbon version to Hardy Heron. As I still used the vesa driver, things were looking normal. In a next step I moved the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file away and did a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to regenerate a new xorg.conf file with the native intel driver and rebooted the computer. KDM appeared and I logged in. The screen turned black and stayed black. I heard that the desktop was being loaded while the harddrive was busy (I am using the KDE dekstop here but the same is true for the Gnome desktop). So what happened is that the display was apparently shown on my non- existing TV out output while my screen stayed black. Not good. What I did next is to generate by hand a new xorg.conf file, adding the workaround proposed by wjl and rebooted. Now everything works fine. I attach my xorg.conf file for those being interested. I still hope that this bug will be fixed during the live time of Hardy Heron. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14060961/xorg.conf -- i965 TVout quirk needed [1043,8265] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201257 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
