In my case, the issue is the Samsung SyncMaster 570S TFT monitor not being recognized by automatic configuration. The workaround I used was to boot a 7.04 live CD, save the xorg.conf file generated by that, and then to copy that to /etc/X11 after rebooting to 8.04.1. After that I reboot to make the new xorg.conf effective.
See bugs: #212510, #255561, #254708. The original bug reported by Norbert Bollow might be fixed by this workaround. The similarity with my problem is that the software doesn't recognize the monitor, and ends up using a default low resolution. Hopefully the proposed fixes for #255561 may fix the original problem. Otherwise, a manual configuration might solve that problem (as was suggested above). -- [hardy beta] install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217004 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
