Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
When trying to install the current Beta of Ubuntu 9.10 (desktop-installation image), there graphical issues with i.e. SIS 761GX onboard graphic-controllers. These "could" be fixed when using the option "Safe Graphic mode" or even better: xforcevesa in the boot options. Both doesn't work as you can see in the Xorg.log file attached to this bug report. The Issie isn't unkown, as it was fixed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/285562 for Ubuntu 8.10 and with the package xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu2 the bugfix was included in Ubuntu. However the Installation Image for the current Ubuntu 9.10 still uses Xorg 1.6.3 instead of the fixed modern one, which is already 1 year old. Some general infos to the emergency of this bug: As I can see, there are several other users having graphics problems installing Ubuntu 9.10 when using safe-graphics. Most of these issues would be fixed with a working functionality of forcing xorg server to use vesa-driver only. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: desktop installer sis xforcevesa xorg -- too old xorg server in 9.10 desktop install causes issues with forcevesa / safe graphics installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
