Brian, I booted up the Inspiron 1100 and got the usual v10.04 black
screen.
I then did Ctrl-Alt-F1 and:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/intel-shadow
I then created the /etc/X11/xorg.conf via nano with only:
Section "Device"
Identifier "GPU"
Option "Shadow" "True"
EndSection
I then did sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get upgrade
Installed so much I had to go upgrade the HDD (no just kidding)
next: sudo reboot
at Grub I select the top entry (current stock v10.04) and once I heard
the noise that tells me I'm at the logon screen I had a vertical blue
(pretty bright blue) bar and a about a 1 inch tall horizontal white bar.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 and sudo service gdm restart only faded the white bar and
moved it to the top of the screen.
I'm gonna reinstall v9.10 which for reasons unknown didn't give me
problems on this machine as I need to get it off to my granddaughter
soon.
Thanx, Skip
