Attaching a fix for this. Simple solution instead of jumping to the cleanup code at the end of chooseVideoDriver() jump to the logic just before which will select the platform default driver (vesa, vga, or fbdev).
Regression tested on a laptop with an ATI card - fine both with and without xorg.conf. Tested on PS3 (obviously) and works lovely with or without config. This first patch is my full git commit with the patch integrated into the patch series and an explanatory comment for the debian changelog. (Note to get this to compile against the current head of the ubuntu branch I had to temporarily disable patches 166_fix_lpl_monitors.diff and 167_xf86AutoConfig_geode_addition.diff which don't currently apply cleanly) ** Attachment added: "0001-Fall-back-to-platform-default-driver-when-no-pci-inf.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14430454/0001-Fall-back-to-platform-default-driver-when-no-pci-inf.patch -- xorg-server wrongly tries to load 'vesa' driver instead of 'fbdev' on PS3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219424 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
