I think the original bug report here (NoDCC causes hang) has been fixed. I am currently testing the trident driver on an ancient laptop here, and it has many bugs, but this isn't one of them. The "vesa" mode doesn't work, and most importantly auto-detection doesn't work. Manually writing your own Xorg configuration and assigning driver as "trident" however, works fine.
What you need is: Driver "trident" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" At that point you get the proper response from Xorg: (WW) TRIDENT(0): Option "NoDCC" is not used So it simply skips NoDCC in the config file and in turn skips the hang. I will be opening another bug report regarding detection. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-trident in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223774 Title: NoDDC option doesn't work for trident cyberblade/i1 resulting in system lockup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/223774/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
