Ubuntu 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) – Pehla Jhatka !!!
I have always been an avid Ubuntu fan. Not because I have met Mark Shuttleworth in person ( Yes I have !!! ) but because of its hassle free installation.
But ubuntu 7.10 was the pehla jhatka !!! Ubuntu supposedly failed to detect my graphic settings and I got a blank screen.
I have a Samtron 56v monitor with a VIA S3G graphics (onboard) controller.
Here’s how got it working :-
- Boot in the safe mode
- run :- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
- goto the /etc/X11 directory. If you have multiple xorg.conf files then rename the one you just made to xorg.conf. Delete or backup the other files .
- reboot your system !!!
I heard that there are issues with other CRT monitors as well. Probably due to integration of the Compiz Fusion 3d Desktop in this release.
I would advice all who are happy with their previous installations of Ubuntu to keep a backup of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I might be your only easy way out.
