.cobnet, you are right! Sorry, I should have posted back here. It is still flaky, if I hit Ctl+Alt+F1 to go to a virtual console, I get a black screen. Or if I restart X, by logout/login it also goes black. So in those cases and system reboot is required. If X just starts once and never again -

I'm glad to have confirmation from another source. Like I said, a new vanilla kernel worked around my problem. I suspect this issue goes away with 10.10 since it will have an even newer kernel. .cobnet can you test the 10.10 beta? -- lucid freezes on Dell SC440 with addon video card https://bu

This affects me too. FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument Running 2.6.34-lucid (from kernel-ppa) on plain Ubuntu 10.04 i386. So, I don't think it's kubuntu or amd64 specific. It appears to be 2.6.34 on lucid specific. Xorg is using the nouveau driver but appears to be sick -- I assume this

I'm unsure how I can provide better information. I suspect upstream is moving forward, and this bug probably doesn't affect many people. I've found a work around: - install 10.04 without an addon video card installed - install 2.6.34 from kernel-ppa - blacklist radeon - install an NVidia addo

Updates on kernel-ppa... 2.6.34-020634 does not boot. 2.6.33-02063304 boots to console like 3303 did. I'd like to know how to blacklist the ATI ES1000 or give this bug report better debug output. When 2.6.33 boots the first thing it says is there is a PCI address space collision. I'll attach

I'd love to disable it but it appears there is no BIOS option to do so. We have several of these and atleast one needs to have DVI out from an addon video card. Also note, the integrated + addon have no problems with 9.04 and I believe 8.10 and 9.10 also. -- lucid freezes on Dell SC440 with addo

I found the deciding factor on both the HP-DV4 and Mini9. For Ekiga to hang and use 100%, Ubuntu merely needs to have a bluetooth dongle plugged in. NO pairing needed! Happens with both laptops... and with 2 different Bluetooth dongles. One of which has no history of pairing on either instal

This was very useful, I had the same problem. To be more clear, a person needs to remove "-novtswitch -sharevts" from ONLY one of the seat commands in gdm.conf. The Seat without those two switches will then get control over inserted USB media etc. -- Hal does not mount usb devices (pen drives)
