[Bug 747069] Re: [natty beta-1] Screen flashes on and of every few seconds with nouveau driver

 

This computer is now running 64-bit xubuntu 11.10:

Ubuntu version and kernel version
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=oneiric
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.10"
Linux compaq 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
model name	: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+
cpu MHz		: 1000.000

lsmod shows that the nvidea driver is being used

I have an xorg.conf file to control the screen mode - a portion looks
like

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
        Option          "DPMS"
        HorizSync       28-51
        VertRefresh     43-60
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection


It was previously running 'natty' with the same xorg.conf file.

I'm not sure if I can just boot the live xubuntu 11.10 cd - I'll try
that later.
