The problem is with the LCD Monitor and when I boot up the PC it
remains dark, after the OS (Ubuntu Studio 7.10) is up and running I
get a log-in, I can also switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+FX 1-6) but
the fonts are huge about 10 mm high, this means that vim for example
displays 22 lines.
If it remains blank on a console, you probably enabled the framebuffer,
but didn't include or load the modules at boot time.
If it remains blank in X, then your X is misconfigured. Or you're using
the wrong video driver. Or possibly the video driver sucks. Or your
HorizSync and VertRefresh values are off in your X configuration.
# X -configure
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# aticonfig --initial (and some other options, google for your card)
# X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(if all is well exit to your user and startx)
NOTE: Cntrl+Alt+Backspace to exit X.
(assuming it's responding and the keyboard didn't flake out on you)
Using Gnome (but mostly XFCE) I get a bunch of vertical lines about half
of the monitor, from the bottom up.
Sounds like X or your video driver is misconfigured. Check
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for any details to shed some light on it for you.
I've had that happen myself. Gimp grabs the right stuff because it's
talking to X and the problem exists between X and your video card. Not
between X and your applications / processes. Sort of the same way screen
shots don't work if your media player is using your accelerated drivers,
but does work if you output using x11/shm.
