alex_mayorga | or anyone that can help with bug 146706 | 18:58 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 146706 in xorg-server "[Hardy] Live cd graphics fail with nvidia geforce4 440 go " [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/146706 | 18:58 |
alex_mayorga | I have the system this weekend for troubleshooting | 19:01 |
tormod | alex_mayorga: one thing that might be nice is a log from running with Option "ModeDebug" | 19:34 |
alex_mayorga | tormod, how do I get it? I just attached current Xorg.0.log to the bug report, FWIW | 19:41 |
tormod | alex_mayorga: you add Option "ModeDebug" to the Driver section and restart the xserver. It will be a little bit more verbose about how it selects mode etc. But I didn't read the bug report thoroughly. Is the same mode selected as when it was working? | 19:45 |
tormod | the output will still be in Xorg.0.log BTW | 19:46 |
tormod | if the mode is correct, ModeDebug might not be so interesting. | 19:46 |
alex_mayorga | tormod, there's no Driver section on my xorg.conf | 19:49 |
tormod | sorry I meant Device section | 19:49 |
alex_mayorga | OK, let me add that | 19:50 |
alex_mayorga | tormod, I've added that line to xorg.conf, what now? | 19:54 |
alex_mayorga | reboot? | 19:55 |
tormod | it's enough to logout and in, because that will restart X | 19:55 |
alex_mayorga | tormod, I have no gui, it's all garbled | 19:56 |
alex_mayorga | let me reboot, I'm troubleshooting over ssh now | 19:56 |
tormod | ctrl - alt -backspace should work | 19:57 |
alex_mayorga | tormod, I've rebooted and I now have GUI, odd, only thing I did was to aptitude install read-edid | 20:05 |
alex_mayorga | make sense | 20:05 |
tormod | so read-edid solved the whole issue? | 20:06 |
alex_mayorga | that was the only thing I did besides adding the line you suggested under Device, then sudo reboot and got video back, real odd | 20:16 |
alex_mayorga | tormod, what can I provide for the bug, or was all user error? | 20:19 |
tormod | try to make sure it was only the read-edid (remove the ModeDebug). Then attach two logs (working, with read-edid and failing, without) both with ModeDebug set. Attach both to the upstream bug. | 20:21 |
tormod | AFAIK, read-edid is not supposed to be needed. | 20:22 |
alex_mayorga | I'd try to do that | 20:29 |
