I found (cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/153733 ) that $ DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo corrects the name of the screen and gives "direct rendering: yes".
And sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl followed by a reboot has now given me a good, fast normal session. I have also run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to hopefully improve xorg.conf (but it does not seem to have made any difference). Now, Applications | Other | Screens & Graphics on its "Graphics Card" tab, has an empty box for "Location" and the Driver box says "None". which doesn't seem right. The "Test" button gives me a strange grey screen (as it did before). Maybe this is just a workaround, waiting for a real fix? -- After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 Screen does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
