[Bug 1132766] Re: modesetting fails; no signal to monitor

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Steven Usdansky, could you please provide the full computer model as
noted on the sticker?

** Description changed:

- lubuntu@lubuntu:/var/log$ lsb_release -rd
- Description:	Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
- Release:	13.04
- 
- lubuntu@lubuntu:/var/log$ apt-cache policy linux
- linux:
-   Installed: (none)
-   Candidate: 3.8.0.7.21
-   Version table:
-      3.8.0.7.21 0
-         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages
- 
  Upon booting(live CD), as soon as modesetting kicks in, the monitor loses the signal and goes black. Cannot switch to a VT, but keyboard does appear to be active, as Ctl-Alt-Del will cause a reboot. Booting with nomodeset works; I expect it to work with modesetting, too.
  .
  I'm seeing the identical problem with Fedora Rawhide (what will be F19) when using version 3.8 or 3.9 kernels. I tried a version 3.8 kernel with a working F18 installation, and same problem, so it's not something new in Xorg or the nouveau driver, but how they interact with the newer kernels. No problems with version 3.7 or earlier kernels.
