Description ChrisB 2010-03-20 21:20:10 UTC 
Admitedly, this is probably not a bug and a situation of a newbie. However, I have really no clue where to begin with this.

I am running Debian Lenny (2.6.26) on a Toshiba Satellite A110. It has a Radeon Xpress 200M video card with a cracked LCD. I attach a Sharp monitor to the VGA port and it works well.

I've installed what I think is a "minimal" xserver system, including xterm. After installing the Debian package, I ran X -configure then copied the file into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

When I boot the machine and login I can startx and I get a small console box, about 1/6th of the screen in the top left, and the rest of the screen is the black and white hatch pattern with the X mouse in the middle.

Next I Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-c to kill the server. The log file is attached.

Unfortunately, next time I starx, I get a screen full of fine black and white vertical lines, with bolder (1/4 inch) either white or black lines in between (usually 3 or 4 of them). My guess is the sync rates are getting screwed up somehow, but I have no idea how to figure that out.

Nothing shows up in the syslog to indicate any problems, and if I create new Xorg.*.log files in /var/log for each attempt, they are identical.

I can't find anything on the web about this because the problem seems far to general or vague. About the only thing I did find is a suggestion to lspci -vvnn to attach for more info...so that is included, along with my xorg.conf file.

Anyways, any suggestions on how to proceed would be GREATLY appreciated.

One last thing, ultimately I will only need to access the machine via VNC, so I'm wondering if I even need to go through all of this hassle???

Cheers,
Christopher

It would probably be worth trying a newer version of the radeon driver...

FIXED --- I think...(?)


I recieved a reply to my bug report from Julien Cristau (jcristau@debian.org) suggesting using 7.3 version radeon driver. Wish I had one. I've check the Debian site and both unstable and experimental releases only offer 6.12 releases. Not gonna mess with them.

I did try connecting an external mouse, and was actually able to hover over the reduce console area, and use "exit" to stop the server.

However, when I restarted I got the same problem of vertical bars, BUT I was able to hover the mouse over the area where the reduce console was supposed to have appeared, and type "exit" to stop the server.

This lead me to believe that the server believed the screen was there, even though it didn't appear so. I recalled seeing in the log file a bunch of modeline entries. I guessed that the information there might have been useful.

After looking at the Xorg.conf man page I sort of figured out what is supposed to go where. I'm still not sure how the different "Modes" work in the "SubSection Display" entries work, but they don't seem to be harming anything.

Anyways, attached is the xorg.conf file I came up with. At the very least, this bug is logged in case anyone else has a similar problem. In the meantime, I plead ignorance of youth :)
