Whichever version of xserver-xorg-video-vesa that is in the installer for Tribe 5 AMD64 is what is being used.
After reviewing bug 89853, I am not convinced this is a duplicate. The problem in that bug is that X will not start, but the console is still visible. This bug is that when X tries to start, the LCD panel completely shuts down and nothing is visible on it. You can't exit the xorg.conf file due to nothing being displayed on the screen. For some more info, I am including the lspci output from a Feisty install I was able to put on the system. ** Attachment added: "Inspiron 6400 lspci data" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9482847/ins6400-lspci.txt -- Black screen on Inspiron 6400 Desktop Install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
