I'd like to be able to debug this problem better, but I'll need someone to give me directions on how to do that.
* When I use i915.modeset=0 I'm not even sure that the i915 driver is used. Judging by the X log, it looks like a standard VESA driver is being used, with the wrong display resolution. * If I allow the system to boot up normally (to the flickering built in display) vga_switcheroo is available, however when using i915.modeset=0 the vga-switcheroo option is no longer available. * Booting up normally with an external monitor sometimes results in the KDE desktop showing up on the external monitor while the built in display flashes. I can't always recreate this though. Is this a case of the i915 driver not being able to function properly only with the built in display? Again, I'm having a hard time determining which driver (i915 or nouveau) is currently being used, and I would love to debug this further, but I dont know what to do next. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802026 Title: Booting results in flickering screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/802026/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
