Just upgraded to Edgy using the update-manager. Funnily, the first boot already has the sync issue, so, yes, the issue is still there after upgrade. However, now dmesg looks different: [ 25.211374] radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): Invalid ROM signature 0 should be 0xaa55 [ 25.211387] radeonfb: Retrieved PLL infos from Open Firmware [ 25.211397] radeonfb: Reference=27.00 MHz (RefDiv=12) Memory=183.00 Mhz, Syst em=230.00 MHz [ 25.211405] radeonfb: PLL min 12000 max 35000 [ 26.145933] radeonfb: Monitor 1 type LCD found [ 26.145940] radeonfb: EDID probed [ 26.145946] radeonfb: Monitor 2 type no found [ 26.145963] radeonfb: Using Firmware dividers 0x0002008e from PPLL 0 [ 26.304930] radeonfb: Dynamic Clock Power Management enabled [ 26.362533] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x53 Note that now it has probed the EDID, whereas the probing previously failed. The syncing isn't completely off, because the picture is there, but "shivering" - bit like there were two interlaced fields and the other field had a wrong x offset. Previously the problem also varied between good, this almost ok, and completely failed (as best described by the original report .)
Second boot: synced ok. Unfortunately, no change in syslog compared to the previous failed attempt. cat /proc/version: Linux version 2.6.17-10-powerpc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)) #2 Fri Oct 13 16:37:41 UTC 2006 (Ubuntu 2.6.17-10.33-powerpc) I don't see this giving any new info, but: cat /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 667.000000MHz revision : 0.1 (pvr 8001 0201) bogomips : 66.56 timebase : 33332013 platform : PowerMac machine : PowerBook3,4 motherboard : PowerBook3,4 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 73 (PowerBook Titanium III) pmac flags : 0000001b L2 cache : 256K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld -- radeonfb fails to probe EDID on a PowerBook G4 (TiBook) https://launchpad.net/bugs/60685 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
