[Bug 538430] [NEW] Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 boot corrupts screen on VIA VX800 graphics (A110 netbook)

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When booting the screen-content will suddenly disintegrate (on X
startup?). No graphical login is possible. After startup it's possible
to change to a text console (screen won't recover, though) and press
ctrl-alt-del for a machine shutdown/restart.

In-depth hardware description: http://a110wiki.de/wiki/One_A110

Videos of the bootup process:

Standard options: http://people.xiph.org/~maikmerten/a110-ubuntu/standardboot.ogv
With removed "quiet splash": http://people.xiph.org/~maikmerten/a110-ubuntu/boot-noquiet-nosplash.ogv


Graphical installation from USB stick works, with at most a few corrupted pixels at the top of the display.


Unsure what package - could be kernel (is there kernel-modesetting for VIA hardware?), framebuffer or the X driver.


Expected result: Graphical login screen.
What happend instead: Corrupted screen.
