Public bug reported:
I just upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy. I'm using an old S3 Virge, which
under Gutsy I had running just fine at [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, under
Hardy neither the monitor nor the graphics card seem to be picked up
correctly. All I can get is the failsafe 800x600 resolution with the
vesa driver, which isn't much good to me. I can't use my known good
xorg.conf from Gutsy because of the change to the new displayconfig-gtk
(I have tried, and it gets ignored).
I've tried connecting the computer up to an older monitor, a Hansol
920P, and setting it to a more modest 1024x768, but this hasn't helped.
When I run displayconfig-gtk (via gksudo), I can specify different
resolutions and the (correct) s3virge driver. The tests for 1024x768 and
the s3virge appear to run fine, but the resolution doesn't apparently
change, even when I close displayconfig-gtk with the "OK" button. When I
run displayconfig-gtk again immediately afterwards, the settings have
reverted to the failsafe defaults.
I've been using Linux for several years, and am fairly comfortable with
the command line and configuring things in general, but this "easy-to-
use" tool has me stumped. I'm not sure whether my ancient hardware is
part of the problem, but since it was working just fine on the previous
release of Ubuntu I'm not willing to upgrade it, which seems a bit
wasteful. The problem with the configuration failing to change/getting
forgotten every time doesn't seem to be hardware specific, although
since I've no idea what displayconfig-gtk is doing in the background
it's hard for me to say.
Attached are the output of 'sudo ddcprobe', 'sudo lspci -vv' and xrandr,
in the hopes that they are of help. If I can provide any extra
information, let me know.
