Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I booted the ubuntu 6.10 beta i386 desktop cd on my laptop toshiba M40-281, graphics card is a ATI x700. The cd boots, but both standard and graphics fail safe mode end up with a blank screen, I hear the new sounds and everything but I don't see anything. The screen has a native resolution of 1280x800.

I filed the bug under xorg because I couldn't find a better package.

Booting in single mode, if I use the xorg.conf attached and then ctrl+alt+backspace, the screen is no more blank and I can use the system! Maybe you need to change the default xorg.conf for my hardware

Since you had to add MonitorLayout option, I think this bug is duplicate of bug 22985.
Recent ati driver update helps in detecting monitor layout and it works on some systems that did not work before.
Can you re-test this with Edgy Release Candidate?

Changed in xorg:
status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info

I have the same troubles with my laptop (same video card and display). I tried Edgy RC, but the bug is still there.

I had the same issue with an ATI X700 Pro in my desktop. I've solved it changing "ati" to "radeon" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Marked as duplicate of bug 22985. However, the mentioned desktop graphics card problem is another bug, which is now fixed in feisty (after herd 2).
