For comparison, I tried booting a Fedora 9 live CD in all 3 systems I mentioned above (the Dell server, the gBox with an S3 display controller, and the Averatec laptop with an S3 display controller.
I was unable to complete booting the 2 systems with S3 controllers - the system hung completely after a couple of minutes or less. I was able to boot the Dell system, which came up in the low-res 600x800 mode, as was the case with the LTS Ubuntu system. I was able to use the xorg.conf file from the Ubuntu 7.04 system, as above; I did remove all but the sections for the display. This system does not normally use xorg.conf - the configuration is entirely different from the Debian/Ubuntu config. - but this did override the default systems, and I was able to restart X (ctrl-alt-BS) and get into 1024x768 mode, the most this Samsung monitor will support. Possibly this information will be useful for upstream developers. -- [gutsy] [hardy]No signal with Samsung SyncMaster 750s https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
