Public bug reported:
For the moment I have a "Dell Inspiron 5160" with a "XGI Volari XP5" graphical
card .
Xserver works under Ubuntu Drapper 6.06.1 with:
* xserver-xorg (7.0.0-0ubuntu45)
* xserver-xorg-core (1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.6)
But upgrading to Edgy or Feisty makes X-server crash during installation.
Ubuntu loads completely but when switching from splash-screen to log-in, the
screen hows completely black and all activity stops (power remains).
Tried fixes:
Upgrading from Drapper to Edgy with gksu "update-manager -c" (result: described
above)
Upgrading from Drapper to Feisty with liveCD without graphics save mode
(result: described above)
Upgrading from Drapper to Feisty with liveCD with graphics save mode (result:
described above)
Upgrading from Drapper to Feisty with liveCD with graphics save mode and sudo
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with vesa-driver (result: described above)
Upgrading from Drapper to Feisty with liveCD with graphics save mode and sudo
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with trident-driver (result: the Ubuntu-startup
song is coming out my speakers and activity on CD but screen remains black)
