Some more developments about the trouble with Intrepid (yes, I know this bug is about Hardy but I think the problems in Hardy and Intrepid are related, as I'll point out below)
I decided to try Intrepid using the VGA cable instead of DVI, and the display worked, except the resolution was set to 1600x1024, so I set it 1440x900, and everything was fine (so it seems both Hardy and Intrepid initialize at the wrong resolution). * anyone who's had the same/similar problem, definitely read this paragraph * Knowing that the resolution was initializing wrong, I switched back to the DVI cable to try alt+F2 to open the run box, then type "xrandr -s 1440x900" (blindly, since the monitor is blank, :) ), hit return, wait a few seconds, and success! I guess if the monitor is using DVI input and the resolution is anything greater than 1440x900, it just flashes "Input Not Supported" -- [Hardy] system freezes after setting resolution to 1440 x 900 with Radeon 7500 graphics card, when using DVI output, Acer AL1916W monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234811 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
