I have totally given up on running Ubuntu on this laptop. I have installed first Fedora 13, and now Debian Lenny. Once properly installed, the screen issues no longer occur, except that both of those systems try to run the screen in 1600x1200 mode, so that installing a custom xorg.conf is also necessary under those distros.
Some distros, such as AntiX, have a boot-time option to select the initial screen resolution. IMHO ALL distros should do this. I *may* try future betas on this laptop, but don't intend to install Ubuntu on it again. -- [K8M800] Lucid 10.04 live-CD login failure, Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps, ttyN screens don't work, on Averatec 3280 running Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 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
