Well, that's interesting - I tried specifying vga=791 in the Intrepid 2.6.27-3 boot stanza, and it doesn't display any text during boot. The backlight stays on, the HD light flicks on and off as normal, but nothing appears on the screen until after the backlight goes off and the greeter starts to load.
When I shutdown, the screen has a garbled and static color pattern (horizontal layers) until the re-boot sequence starts with the CD-drive click. Looks as if vga=791 is not acceptable......, and maybe there's a problem in whatever the default mode is. -- shutdown crashes, leaving Intrepid running but stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
