Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I installed Kubuntu on my ibook. The monitor that X/KDE selected was "plug and play", which had incorrect color depth, made the fonts look messed up, etc. I went into the KDE control panel / display, and tried auto-detect monitor; again, it selected "plug and play". I manually selected apple / ibook 2 12 as the monitor, and restarted X, and now everything displays perfectly. Given that it is an ibook, the monitor autodetection should be working properly.

What version of kubuntu is this? It has always worked well here. It may be an outdated version problem..

The problem is with Edgy. Ironically, Dapper was fine.

Please try Ubuntu 7.10 or newer, and attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log if it doesn't work. Otherwise let us know that it works now :)

This works now. There's quite a bit of brokenness is gutsy on the ibook, but this isn't part of it. I'm reverting to Feisty, as that's the most stable it seems on this hardware.

Thanks
