I made some progress : actually, in my previous xorg.conf, I was loading the module "v4l" (I am not sure why I loaded it - must have been a test a long time ago) - as soon as I commented it, I got my display back !
Actually, I have an Hauppauge HVR-1300 TV card, which always had some troubles with recent kernels (but eventually worked); actually it works in normal TV mode, but as soon as I try to connect to the MPEG2 encoder, the software used (mplayer, kaffeine, whatever) just stalls and is not killable any more ! (as X did recently !). I just saw here : http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1300 that the driver was broken in a previous kernel version, and it has just been fixed - well, may be the fix is just partial - So I guess this issue is closed, and I am going to open another one about the Conexant driver ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815705 Title: blank screen at boot after upgrading to Natty from v10.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/815705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
