alex_mayorgabryce, you there?18:57
alex_mayorgaor anyone that can help with bug 14670618:58
ubottuLaunchpad bug 146706 in xorg-server "[Hardy] Live cd graphics fail with nvidia geforce4 440 go " [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14670618:58
alex_mayorgaI have the system this weekend for troubleshooting19:01
tormodalex_mayorga: one thing that might be nice is a log from running with Option "ModeDebug"19:34
alex_mayorgatormod, how do I get it? I just attached current Xorg.0.log to the bug report, FWIW19:41
tormodalex_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
tormodthe output will still be in Xorg.0.log BTW19:46
tormodif the mode is correct, ModeDebug might not be so interesting.19:46
alex_mayorgatormod, there's no Driver section on my xorg.conf19:49
tormodsorry I meant Device section19:49
alex_mayorgaOK, let me add that19:50
alex_mayorgatormod, I've added that line to xorg.conf, what now?19:54
alex_mayorgareboot?19:55
tormodit's enough to logout and in, because that will restart X19:55
alex_mayorgatormod, I have no gui, it's all garbled19:56
alex_mayorgalet me reboot, I'm troubleshooting over ssh now19:56
tormodctrl - alt -backspace should work19:57
alex_mayorgatormod, I've rebooted and I now have GUI, odd, only thing I did was to aptitude install read-edid20:05
alex_mayorgamake sense20:05
tormodso read-edid solved the whole issue?20:06
alex_mayorgathat was the only thing I did besides adding the line you suggested under Device, then sudo reboot and got video back, real odd20:16
alex_mayorgatormod, what can I provide for the bug, or was all user error?20:19
tormodtry 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
tormodAFAIK, read-edid is not supposed to be needed.20:22
alex_mayorgaI'd try to do that20:29
