To fill in what's happened in the last few months: After failing to install Hardy alpha6, I gave up and installed Debian 4.0 on my Averatec laptop, so I failed to follow this up on the laptop.
However I did eventually install 8.04.1 on four desktop systems. This went well, until I replaced a tube monitor shared between two of those systems with a Samsung SyncMaster 570S TFT monitor. That worked, but the installer or X configurator failed to recognize the allowable scan parameters of the monitor, and set xorg.conf up with some default settings, allowing a maximum of 600x800 resolution. This was resolved with a workaround involving booting a 7.04 live CD and saving the resulting xorg.conf file. See bugs: #255561 #254708 #217004 #212510 for details. In retrospect, I think this bug may have the same cause. -- Gutsy alternate installer fails to recognize display on Averatec 3280 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186103 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
