Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Ubuntu version : 9.04 jaunty (developpement branch) (i386 desktop)
Xorg version : 1:7.4~5ubuntu12 (exactly like displayed when I type
'apt-cache policy xorg'

When I try to boot Ubuntu Live-Cd in Live-Session mode, instead of
loading and displaying the graphical desktop like it does in 8.04 with
the same configuration, I get an error message :
Title : Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode
Text : Your screen, graphics card and input devices settings could not
be detected correctly. You will need to reconfigure these yourself.

This was supposedly fixed in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=8a6ed44a8b2fc5f14729dc54fec17607ced03859 on the trunk just after the 1.6 release. If it does not enter the 1.6 branch, we should cherry-pick it. It looks like an obvious "thinko" fix with no side-effects.

This bug was fixed in the package xorg-server - 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
xorg-server (2:1.6.0-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add 163_thinko_in_xf86targetpreferred.patch:
    - For monitors that do not define a "preferred" mode, if the monitor
      is not connected to the first output, X wouldn't pick up the mode
      correctly, resulting in a "No modes" error in Xorg.0.log and dropping
      user to failsafe-X mode.
      (LP: #335214)
  * Add 164_trap-aspect-ratios.patch:
    - Some monitors fib in the EDID they provide, giving their physical
      dimensions in the global block, and their aspect ratio(!) in
      the detailed timings. This totally messes up DPI calculations
      resulting in huge fonts.
      (LP: #320930)
