Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-savage
This occurs on trying to boot the intrepid 8.10 CD as a live CD on a gBox
computer
Display controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
Display: Samsung SyncMaster 570S TFT
While trying to boot the CD, eventually the display controller is unable
to find a mode that works on the Samsung display. The Samsung display
will indicate this by flashing small windows indicating that the
controller output is incompatible with the display. I have found no way
to get to a shell to attempt to fix the situation, e.g. by changing the
xorg.conf file.
Under hardy (actually installed), what happened is that a compatible
800x600 mode was found, and I could add an xorg.conf file which was
generated by booting a 7.04 live CD, restart X, and get to the 1024x768
mode supported by the display.
Under intrepid, I was unable to get to the point where I could copy over
the (possibly) 'good' xorg.conf.
See bug # 212510, and some bugs listed as duplicates to that, for some
further information - this bug report is specifically for this
controller/display combination under intrepid; 212510 is listed as fixed
for the original hardware combination, but is clearly not fixed for this
hardware combination and others I mention in that report.
