Strange things: - downgraded to 2.9 driver -> it still behaved as the 2.11 driver (=freeze after a while, can switch to console). - back to vesa -> got an error about a KMS driver being loaded (!). - fix for this was to purge the intel driver and reinstall it. This also restored the instant crash from times before. Looks, like I can dance between this and bug #565870 and we can forget the last comment (as that was no change but only the alltime state _with_ KMS).
Looking a bit deeper the 2.11-driver *required* KMS and enables this using a file in /etc/modprobe.d, which is kept after downgrade. That file needs to be killed to get at least vesa back. -- [i855] Lucid Freeze shortly after X startup (needs KMS blacklist?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511001 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
