@Timo: The problem still exists in both 8.04 LTS, 8.10 and 9.04 on Fujitsu-Siemens (FSC) computers using AMI BIOS.
It seems to be a problem where the on-board Intel integrated graphics card paired with a slot-graphics card has Ubuntu, reading the xorg.conf, so confused it freezes at boot-up, LiveCD or not, where the only option is a on/off-button shutdown. This happens when the slot-graphics card is promoted by the user to primary graphics, downgrading the onboard Intel GPU to secondary graphics in the AMI BIOS -- [Peripherals] Graphics: OnBoard=>PCI switched to PCI=>OnBoard. Note that there is no disable option available of the OnBoard graphics! Ordinary users, wanting to use advanced graphics on FSC-computers, hence their addition of a slot graphics card, are out of luck with now-a-days Ubuntu and have to resort to a more wide-spread OS. Advanced users, understanding hardware adresses, Xorg and Linux has a bit of tinkering and log-reading to do, to get their xorg.conf going -- one little error and your in low graphics mode. I, myself, is doing okey in Ubuntu 9.04, with an old cherished Ubuntu 8.04/Envy-generated xorg.conf --- non-nowadays-EnvyNG. But I'm not fine, still forced to have a secondary display attached to the OnBoard graphics card and the OnBoard=>PCI BIOS-setting active. A note: I believe this issue to be a Xorg and Linux-problem. All LiveCD or RescueCD I've tried freezes-up at boot, using this BIOS graphics card priority change. Any suggestions? -- X incorrectly defaults to using disabled Intel onboard graphics card instead of nVidia FX5500 PCI card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103223 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
