@Bugbot- This is not an "nVidia" thing. The happens with nVidia, ATI Radeon, i915, Sandy Bridge, etc. This causes an nVidia chip instlled consurrent with a Sandy Bridge no to be quesried and return it's mode data.
Basically, it seems to be causing graphics modes data to be returned in correctly, so that an invalid graphics mode is set. Administratively-- If you would have read ths bug report thoroughly / carefully and the referred question to launchpad about how to report it... I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM! Which is why I asked all over about how to report this and where to report this, before I did report this, so that ithis problem would not be marked i"invalid." Remember, I've been helping people solve this problem. Instead of having one PC worth of data, I have 100's of PC's worth solved and most share a common problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781445 Title: Xorg's HAL causes Purple screen or Black Screen on GDM startup. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
