Desktop CD starts with wrong resolution

Can you please attach your correct xorg.conf as well as the output of "lspci -vv", "lspci -vvn" and "dmesg" ? Thanks in advance.

Here they come!

The files previously posted are from edgy beta and not knot 3. With beta, the desktop cd still starts up in 1024x768. However, even without the F4 VGA option, the splash screen is _not_ corrupted. So there's progress, I suppose. The splash screen is shown in 1024x768 (I believe).

I have same problem with Kubuntu Edgy RC on HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL V5000 PCIE with 1920x1200 resolution.

Desktop CD starts correctly (now that bug 22985 is fixed for me), but in 1024x768 resolution. This is true for both usplash as well as KDE desktop.

I have also user Alternate CD (Kubuntu Edgy RC) and it did not auto detect resolution and installer asked me to specify one - after specifying resolution it worked after the boot.

I'm not convinced that I agree with the "Low" importance assigned to this bug. Some people's first impression of Edgy is "Look, a low resolution screen that flickers terribly!".

I know I had that. I was able to find the answer in here and am now happily upgraded, but not everybody might be able to do that.

This is still the case with Feisty Herd1 on HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL V5000 PCIE with 1920x1200 resolution.

Feisty Herd2 on HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL V5000 PCIE with 1920x1200 resolution: problem still exists.

Feisty herd 5 contains an updated version of xorg (7.2), please try and see if it makes a difference.

Feisty Beta still starts with 1024x768 on my 1400x1050 screen. When the install is final, I have to manually run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which, I think, might be important to include in the release notes before less knowlegdeable people will instantly switch to some other distro which _does_ support their resolution.

I would just like to notify others that this bug is fixed for me with Kubuntu Gutsy Tribe5 Live CD - I get proper resolution (1920x1200) and DPI (145) on my HP nw8240 (ATI FireGL V5000 PCIE).

David, Mikael, Johan: can you check Tribe5 CD on your system and confirm that it is fixed for you too?

You beat me to it, Luka!

It works for me too, so I'm happy!

(However, now dri is not enabled by default because of some module mix-up, I think. When I'm back home I'll open a new report and attach a lsmod and a lsmod after reloading the radeon module, which fixes it.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Gutsy Gibbon. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the bug doesn't fit requirements for backporting. See [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.
