Hi again,

Feedback: I installed

xserver-xorg-video-intel

in my old IBM Thinkcentre 8187-73G (with a Pentium 4 CPU and) with Intel 82865G graphics.

I needed nomodeset for the graphics to work with Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, but now it works without any tweaks. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the tweak was renamed by the installation (and hence made inactive I guess).

So it works with Intel 82865G graphics. What about the other old Intel chips?

If there is more positive feedback, I'll make a new tarball and a new compressed image file, that can be useful until we get new iso files (Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS is several months away, maybe late July or early August).

Best regards
Nio

Hi everybody,

We have a workaround for old Intel graphics from our main developer.

Please try it and give him feedback :-)

Ämne: [lubuntu-devel] Missing Intel graphic drivers on 16.04

Hi,

Looks like we may have a problem with Intel users after all.

I checked the difference between xubuntu and lubuntu ISO, and this
package is missing :

xserver-xorg-video-intel

Intel cards was supposed to work without this package, but according
to the package description, it is only the case for new cards.

If you have people affected by black screen, or no X starting, or no
lightdm starting, with Intel card, could you advise them to install
this package, reboot, and see if it's working (and report back) ?

This should affect only fresh install, upgrade should be fine (as this
package was included in previous releases).

Thanks in advance for your reports.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
