Blacklisting KMS causes Lucid to boot to a black screen on my i855 as well, in both the LiveCD and an installation. Re-enabling them per: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes fixes all issues.

It seems like "me too"ing this bug would have the opposite effect of fixing it. -- [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
