[Bug 584674] [NEW] Lucid fresh install doesn't go beyond login. Possible Savage driver problem.

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04

xorg:
  Instalado: 1:7.5+5ubuntu1

kdm:
  Instalado: 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu14

After fresh install from Lucid CD, after typing user/pass at KDM, screen
blinks and returns to login screen.

Xorg.0.log tells me Fatal error, video driver problem with savage, some
framemapping range issue.

Doing the following steps work around it, making it a very strange bug:

1. login in console
2. as root, service kdm stop
3. rmmod savage
4. modprobe savagefb (different module)
5. startx

It works!

Notice that is startx, if I try kdm start, the same problem will happen.
If I try failsafe mode (vesa driver) the computer hangs in a black
screen.

After startx, then no problem, nothing, I can use KDE normally. In
previous releases in this same computer, no problem like this
whatsoever, not a single video driver issue or Xorg issue.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

Complete showstopper.
