Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Just installed xubuntu on a rather old Compaq Armada 110 (laptop) and it works pretty well (with 512 MB RAM) except that when X starts, the computer kind of stalls. Kind of: * display is turned off (backlight turned off) * replies to ping * caps lock led is turned on/off when caps lock key is pressed * display won't turn back on after hitting Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc or -F1 This is my first installation of Ubuntu on this laptop (it used to run Debian without X) After reading http://www.nabble.com/xorg.conf-for-Compaq-Armada-110-td18295187.html i applied the same workaround: Add «Driver "vesa"» to «Section "Device"» in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. That however doesn't use the full 1024x768 resolution that the screen is capable of, but only 800x600 (640x480 is displayed in Xfce's settings manager). ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- computer freezes when X starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304196 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
