Bug#499582: upgrade-reports: upgrade etch to lenny (remove some paquets + problem with xorg.conf)
Hi,
I've run into a similar problem: after upgrading from etch to lenny,
the gui would "get stuck" after the login: I would get a blank screen
with nothing moving. I was a little stressed so I didn't think much
and I downloaded the CD1 ISO of the lenny full install, and
reinstalled and now I don't get the graphical login at all instead I
get a moving box that says:
"Not Optimum Mode
Recommended Mode:
1280x1024 60Hz"
I've googled for the first line of text and found a few people with
Samsung SyncMaster screens (I have a 710v in that series), but didn't
found a solution for me.
The xorg.conf file after all this is similar to the one posted by the
bug opener in his first mail (before the replacement). But I didn't
kept the xorg.conf file from my etch install (unlike the bug opener),
so I wonder what I'll do now (I can reinstall etch temporarily just to
get that file but I'll see what I get with Knoppix).
I have Intel Pentium D820, Asus P5VD2-MX and graphic card Via P4M890.
kernel 2.6.24-1-amd64.
I'm not sure what other information is needed, please tell me how to get it.
Also since I know French I can translate approximately the other
problem he had: Once he had a grey screen and the mouse wasn't moving,
he used Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to terminal mode and then back to
graphic mode with Ctrl+Alt+F7 and then all mas normal. With Etch he
never had things like that.
Thanks,
Nethanel
