Hi nameless-nls,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Hi, Bryce!

Thaks for helpig, but i solved a problem for a short time.
There something incompatibility with my AGP Video card, or my
motherboard. In Hungarian Ubuntu Community lots of user have this
Blank or stripe screen on start up..who have the same hardware as
mine!

The solution is the next: I start Windows XP its configuring the video
card i think. And i restart my PC its important because cold start
doesnt work in ubuntu.. After boot process ubuntu starting well. And
if i dont shut down ubuntu workin all day.. I can do every thing. But
at the morning i cant start ubuntu before i start XP..
My Hardware is the next:
AMD SEMPRON 3300+ SOCKET 754
ASUS K8N MOTHERBOARD THIS
ATI RADEON 9600 PRO (RV350) AND THIS Cause the error i think
I HAVE 1.2GIS RAM
AND A SAMSUNG ATA133 HDD

Sorry for bad English I can not help more, but this Email made with
Ubuntu 9.04 :) :)
All the best!
Christian Smith
