splash displayed - but no logon to UI in default Video card

this was with the drapper live (Flight 4)

LTS RC still exhibits this behaviour.

It would be nice if the mulitihead suport defaulted to the same display for primary and secondary.

Kubuntu has some support for this , but I have not been able to get it to work in live mode.

Please, can you confirm that this is still happening with latest Dapper live?

In that case, you should attach the most recent Xorg.*.log file in your
comment, so we can try to find the cause. Attaching /etc/X11/xorg.conf
would help, too.

  yes - same problem with 06.06.1 (newly downloaded)

In that case, could you attach the most recent Xorg.*.log file
and /etc/X11/xorg.conf, so we can track the problem?

Thanks!

here's the logs from a live run of 06.06.LTS.1

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

only /var/log/Xorg.0.log was present
(no /var/log/Xorg.1.log exists)

As before, the consoles (ctl-atl-1, etc.)
are on the other video card, the "other" monitor.

let me know what other logs, etc you want provided.

Kubuntu -edgy Beta has the same symptoms.
KDE starts on different graphics card than boot sequence.

Let's see if I got it right:
* your computer has 2 graphic cards:
* 1 S3, which Xorg detects it as a Cirrus
* and 1 ATI, which is detected under Xorg but not configured in xorg.conf

When the system boots, one of the cards shows the graphical boot sequence and stops there, though it lets you select the console with Alt-F1..F5. The problem is that Xorg doesn't seem to boot and Alt-F7 shows nothing.

Can you please explain:
* how many monitors do you have?
* how are they attached to each card?
* which one of the monitors/cards is used in each case?

Please, can you confirm this is right?

On the other hand, could you please try to remove one of the cards and try again? Then, but it back, remove the other card and try once more. Thus we can check if both cards are working properly by themselves.

Thanks!

 I have only one monitor normally attached
 (an IBM 2237).

 I have booted with it initially attached to
 one card, and another boot attached to the other card.
 In both the end result is the same
 (I just cannot observe behaviour without monitor attached)

 Would attaching another monitor (somewhat less work)
 perhaps correct the problem as a first go?

 I'll experiment and get back to you.

 What do you want me to capture
 (like logs etc, I will definitely report behaviour)
  for each test?

I'm not a developer myself, I'm just trying to guess what the problem can be so I can point it to the right person.

Therefore, it would be great if you could try to boot the live CD with only 1 card at a time and see if both cards works fine when the other one isn't installed. I'm not sure that the live CD can handle this unusual setup, i.e. having 2 different cards.

When you try this, please attach xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log and report back the results of your test.

Thanks!

David, did you had the change to test both graphic cards separately, when booting from a live CD?

The "failed to initialize HAL" error actually comes from update-notifier (see bug #81670).
