Public bug reported: I'm using a Samsung NC20 since a couple of years now. It has never been easy with X11 but with Ubuntu 13.10/saucy it has become an expert issue to get this netbook running.
Notice that this is a regression from Ubuntu 13.04/raring where openchrome was working more or less flawless. As openchrome fails [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- openchrome/+bug/1251849], I forced the vesa driver with the following in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/42-vesa.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" Option "PanelSize" "1280x800" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x800" Option "DefaultModes" "true" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Virtual 1280 800 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection However, even with the vesa driver, X11 bails out and even the console is not usable afterwards. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-vesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251853 Title: [VX820, VIA] no X11 with vesa on Samsung NC20 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-vesa/+bug/1251853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
