Dear Bryce,

Thank you for your email.

The bug us still an issue (I am now using 9.10) although it is somewhat
different behaviour than when I first reported it.   Note it only occurs
upon power-up or reboot, so I tend to leave my PC on standby each time
so the display is guaranteed and this is my work-around. 

The symptoms are on power-up that in say 30% of cases it struggles to
'see ' the display (other times it does work OK but takes longer than it
should).  When it fails, the monitor either remains dark or sometimes
has a fine 'snow' affect akin to fine white noise (desktop icons all
present).  It then tries to recover by 'blanking off' display drivers
for a few sec's and tries again.  It either recovers after sometime (e.g
a couple of minutes) OR I grow impatient and switch off monitor and on
again (which only helps occasionally) or reboot.

I recall reading on a forum that this was due to the way the Samsung 205
reported its state, if I can find this page I will forward link.  

When I return to my office (I am away) I will forward the Xorg file as
requested.

Thanks again (and despite hiccups, I am sold on Linux and Ubuntu!)

Regards,

Rob

We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu?  (ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/)
