Public bug reported: Running Intrepid new install on an HP Pavilion laptop with ATI Radeon Xpress 200M and ati/radeon driver. The new applet Configure Display Settings appeared in today's updates. I tried it out, and selected the "Rotate" option button. On choosing "Left" the display vanished, and returned me to the login greeter. Choosing any available session except Failsafeterminal and trying to log in again returns to the login greeter after an X crash.
The logs contain the message "gdm: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error: Restarting X :0" but of course X never does restart properly. I get no help from xfix or any other option; the bare-bones xorg.conf is of no help. How do I recover from this error without re-installing? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- configure display applet crashes X in intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252023 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
