[18:57] <alex_mayorga> bryce, you there?
[18:58] <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
[19:01] <alex_mayorga> I have the system this weekend for troubleshooting
[19:34] <tormod> alex_mayorga: one thing that might be nice is a log from running with Option "ModeDebug"
[19:41] <alex_mayorga> tormod, how do I get it? I just attached current Xorg.0.log to the bug report, FWIW
[19:45] <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?
[19:46] <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.
[19:49] <alex_mayorga> tormod, there's no Driver section on my xorg.conf
[19:49] <tormod> sorry I meant Device section
[19:50] <alex_mayorga> OK, let me add that
[19:54] <alex_mayorga> tormod, I've added that line to xorg.conf, what now?
[19:55] <alex_mayorga> reboot?
[19:55] <tormod> it's enough to logout and in, because that will restart X
[19:56] <alex_mayorga> tormod, I have no gui, it's all garbled
[19:56] <alex_mayorga> let me reboot, I'm troubleshooting over ssh now
[19:57] <tormod> ctrl - alt -backspace should work
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <tormod> so read-edid solved the whole issue?
[20:16] <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
[20:19] <alex_mayorga> tormod, what can I provide for the bug, or was all user error?
[20:21] <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.
[20:22] <tormod> AFAIK, read-edid is not supposed to be needed.
[20:29] <alex_mayorga> I'd try to do that
