... Problem solved!!! :-) Following my intuition, I connected the LaCie photon18blue to the Radeon 9000, not only - as previously - with the DVI-D (digital) cable, but also with the D-Sub (analogue) cable: both were supplied with the monitor, which has dual connectors.
I just had to move the DVI cable to the ADC port of the Radeon (with the supplied adaptor) and then connect the D-Sub cable to the DVI port (with the other supplied adaptor): and voilà, the Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop CD booted up with no X11 errors (previously, it worked only with the "video=ofonly" option) and the screen was perfect from the beginning, with no colour corruption whatsoever. I then installed Ubuntu 7.04 PPC from the Desktop CD, and the installed system behaved perfectly, too: no video problems at all! :-) So, essentially, at least from my experience, it seems to be something related to having a DVI-only connection between the display and the Radeon graphics card... -- [PPC/r200] X11 color corruption on a radeon 9000 mac edition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
