Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
My laptop uses the Intel 945GM graphics card and while under Hardy and
the "i810" driver it worked flawlessly, the Intrepid install has made a
large regression. When I first installed 8.10, it set my Xorg video
driver to "vesa" instead of "intel". Under "vesa" I could not get
graphics acceleration. After manually switching it to "intel" it would
not load the gdm and after I logged in it would crash and take me back
to the login screen. By reading around, I found that some were able to
fix this problem when they removed "compiz" and "compiz-core" or
disabled them completely. That worked for me, but it is an
inconvenience. Also, when the driver is loaded before the login screen,
it changes different shades of blackness for about 2 seconds before
loading the login screen, where in Hardy under the "i810" driver it did
not do so. With "compiz" removed, I am able to get acceleration (as can
be seen by successfully playing "openarena"), yet the lack of "compiz"
is a major setback for the upgrade, which overall went smoothly.
