ilia_kr Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi, after installing Ubuntu 6.06 I have a problem with my monitor. The image is displayed with horyzontal lines and the colors look funny, with strange stains. FC4 & Ubuntu 5.04 worked ok, so i gues it is xorg 7.0 problem. Please help me!!!

Artificial Intelligence Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Try with: press <ctrl>+<alt>+<F1> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start You might backup your xorg.conf file first.

arctic Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 If that fails, post the xorg.conf or dapper and the one of a working distro (e.g. Fedora). When we compare the files, we might perhaps find something trivial. But it is more probable from what you describe that it is a problem with the Xorg scripts themselves.

Maybe it solves the problem. Apart from that I don't see anything in xorg.conf that could cause your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I'm using an old Mighty Banshee video card. Ubuntu uses 'vesa' driver, while mandriva uses 'tdfx'. I have a 'tdfx' driver on ubuntu, checked that in synaptic. How do I tell xorg to use that driver and not 'vesa'? I've tried to write 'tdfx' instead 'vesa' but then system can not recognize my monitor. ... and i'll try what arctic said now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Basically, if the tdfx driver is definitely included in Ubuntus Xorg on your installation (and both of your xorg.conf files have this entry currently!), then it sould simply work by replacing vesa with tdfx. If it doesn't work then, then I am pretty sure that it is a bug. Otherwise, check if you have to install an extra package. As Xorg became modular now, this could be an explanation why it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i posted ubuntu's xorg.conf i was in a middle of experimenting, so i added 'tdfx' later, sorry for a little disinformation. When i run it with tdfx i get an error, which sais that modul tdfx was found but there are no suitable modes. Have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Can you give us the exact error message please? Does it report "no suitable modes" found or "no suitable BIOS modes" found? This is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
