[Bug 429419] Re: xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot

 

** Description changed:

  Hello, first my config
  
  IBM Pentium III Coppermine 1Gh
  512Mo Ram (SDRAM PC133)
  Asus AH3450 (ATI Radeon) 256Mo
  80Gig Hard Drive
  
  Dual-Boot Windows XP Pro - Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5
  
  Kubuntu 9,10 Alpha 5 with Kernel 2.6.31-10
  Compiz-Fusion is installed and working without bugs.
  
  The bug, each time i boot, kubuntu hangs after this line "Checking
  Battery State" and after 10 secs my computer stops to respond. This bug
  accures no matter if i have fglrx installed or not. (I tried with and
  without the driver and it gave me the same results) First i was thinking
  maybe xorg.conf had an error so i entered this command in recovery mode
  "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and from all the researches i made this file is
  normal. But for me, the only way to avoid the bug was to do this :
  
- In recovery mode - rootnet
+ In recovery mode -- rootnet
  
  rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
- aticonfig --initial -f  <-----i had to add this one after i installed fglrx from Hardware Drivers
- reboot now
+ aticonfig --initial -f
+ exit
  
- after reboot, averything return to normal but after another reboot. i
- have to start over again and delete xorg.conf and configure fglrx to be
- sure it's in xorg.conf. I've tried with only Kwin active(without any
- desktop effects and Compiz disabled) and i got the same bug. As i said,
- the only way i have to avoid this bug is to delete the present xorg.conf
- file and to create a new one.
+ then i choose "Resume" in the recovery menu. If i reboot it no longer
+ works, the bug returns but if i "Resume" after doing deleting the
+ existing xorg.cong and create a new one then everything is fine.

  I'm not sure what's going on because if it was fglrx causing this, the
  bug would not had occure when the driver is not installed. And it's
  unlikely a Compiz bug because the first time this bug came up Compiz
  wasn't installed and fglrx wasn't installed eather. This bug occured
  after i upgraded Kubuntu 9.04 to Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5 with kernel
  2.6.31-9 and after i reboot, i had to do a kernel update to 2.6.31-10.
  After i reboot again after the kernel update, the bug showed up.
  
  Since i haven't find any bug resemling mine i report it here. I think
  it's a bug with xorg and the new kernel but i'm not an expert about
  linux so i need help for this one.
  
  Thank you for your time.
