Ubuntu 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) – Pehla Jhatka !!!

without comments

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.
