boot screen video mode incorrect/unsupported, but desktop okay

Description

I'm using some kind of ATI Radeon 128 MB AGP card and an LG LCD monitor native 1280x1024 60Hz. Right after bootman, my screen goes blank with a message from the monitor about analog input and 43.something Hz. After a few seconds of that, the desktop comes up normally and it automatically goes to 1280x1024@60Hz. So I get no icons or logo or anything.

For the record, R5.0.3's boot screen works normally on this same machine.

Can you check a few other resolutions in the video mode menu of the boot loader, and report which ones work, and which ones doesn't? Also, can you have a look in the /var/log/syslog file and add the EDID dump to this bug, too? If you need more guidance, please tell.

How do I get to the video mode menu? I didn't know you could switch the resolution on the boot screen.

Also I tried it again so I could get the exact message, the monitor says the following between bootman and desktop:

ANALOG

OUT OF RANGE

46.3 KHZ / 43 HZ

Press space ate the very start of the boot process, before the boot icons screen shows up. Then go to the Fail Safe Video mode menu option and test the video resolutions listed there.

Sorry for the delay...

I tried again with a build from today/last night, and these modes do not work:

1024x768x32 1024x768x24 (if this is the default, I'm just guessing from trying in QEMU) 1280x1024x32 1280x1024x16 (I think)

But 1024x768x16 does work! I get a very slick-looking boot screen in that mode.

Oh, and for those that don't work, the message from my LCD screen is the same as in my original post.

  • summary changed from boot screen does not show, but desktop does appear correctly afterwards to boot screen video mode incorrect/unsupported, but desktop okay

Also I found out finally, it's an ATI Radeon 9200 AGP 8x/4x that's in there.
