[Bug 331147] Re: [G33] low-graphics mode

[Bryce Harrington]

Looks like the -intel driver thinks there are no monitors connected.

(II) intel(0): Output VGA disconnected
(WW) intel(0): No outputs definitely connected, trying again...
(II) intel(0): Output VGA disconnected
(WW) intel(0): Unable to find initial modes
(EE) intel(0): No valid modes.

Tell me about your monitor.  How is it connected?  What is its make and
model?  Please run the following command when it's attached and add the
output file:

  xrandr --verbose > xrandr.txt


** Summary changed:

- low-graphics mode
+ [G33] low-graphics mode

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-utils
  
  Hi,
  I'm a non-technical 'noob'.
  
  I tried to run Ubuntu 8.10 from the live CD on my desktop but it would just not go past the loading black screen with text. However, the live CD of Ubuntu 8.04 ran very well on my Desktop. I then went on to install it with my previous OS XP (Dual boot). Everything worked great except my Lexmark X 5470. I then 'upgraded' to Ubuntu 8.10. I was very happy to see 'everything work' so well. It is when I rebooted that I got the message "Ubuntu has to start in low graphics mode". I get the message:
  "(EE) intel(0): No valid modes.
  (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration"
  
  The sad part is Ubuntu 8.10 worked great immediately after the 'upgrade'
  however, it started this problem after its first reboot. Please help.
  
  I tried (after a Google search) some help given on your forum, lauchpad
  as well as the web, but have not got this problem fixed yet.
  
  Code: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
  
  and when complete use the command to reboot Code:
  
  sudo reboot
  
  I also tried Code:
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get -f install
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  
  This too didn't help
