Ok, all you Intel card owners please attach the output of 'sudo lspci -vvnn' and 'sudo xresprobe i810'. Getting xserver-xorg.postinst to write the monitor sync ranges is trivial, but that needs the correct string to the list, which now looks like this:
if [ "$DEVICE_DRIVER" = "i810" ]; then # and i810, but *not* i830 if [ "$DISPLAY_TYPE" = "lcd/lvds" ]; then if [ "$DEVICE_IDENTIFIER" = "Intel Corporation 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" ] || \ [ "$DEVICE_IDENTIFIER" = "Intel Corporation 82810 DC-100 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" ] || \ [ "$DEVICE_IDENTIFIER" = "Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" ] || \ [ "$DEVICE_IDENTIFIER" = "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" ] || \ [ "$DEVICE_IDENTIFIER" = "Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" ]; then MONITOR_SYNC_RANGES="yes" debug_echo "i810 laptop chipset detected; writing sync ranges" fi fi fi -- Installer X server startup fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/62002 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
