I burned a Jaunty Alpha DVD from from the 13-Jan-2009 snapshot, booted it, and it came up just fine. I'm typing this comment on that system.
Attached is the Xorg.0.log file of the successful run. (Just in case someone wants it.) It shows that the Radeon HD 2400 XT chip is correctly detected, that the radeon driver is correctly started, that the EDID transfer of the monitor is correctly performed, and that the expected 1680x1050 resolution is set. (Although it is a mystery to me why it probes modes SO man times.) So, as expected, testing the exact same hardware with the "completely re-designed for Jaunty X configuration" code does NOT manifest the problem. What more do we need to investigate getting an update to Radeon and the Interpid X server so that it will work? ** Attachment added: "Output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log of successful Jaunty Live DVD start-up." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21248234/Xorg.0.log -- X fails to start on Radeon HD 2400 Mobility (Ubuntu 8.10 RC) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289026 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
