Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Initial install of Feisty Herd 4 on emachines M6810 showed problems with hardware detection in xorg: LCD is 1280x800, but X came up as 1024x768 KCD backlight very dim on boot (Bug # 88691) Touchpad not fully functional (Bug #88692) I had initiall reported this as a comment on #79016, but further investigation has shown that my problem was caused by improper detection of the monitor, not the graphics chipset. The monitor was detected as a generic LCD: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 28-51 VertRefresh 43-60 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Wrong resolution on initial install - Radeon 9600 Laptop LCD https://launchpad.net/bugs/89289 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
