Public bug reported:
I attempted to boot the Gusty LiveCD on a Dell Inspiron 1100 with an
integrated intel 845GL graphics card, only to get vertical blue lines
covering the screen. A message appeared saying that it X is running on
low-graphics mode and I have a choice whether to configure it, quit, or
continue. When I did configure, I was able to select the i810 intel
graphics driver, but pressing OK after that yielded a black screen (of
death).
I then attempted to boot the Feisty LiveCD on the same computer, and I
everything worked as expected, except the screen was only 640x480 and
was not using the entire screen real-estate (it was "telescoped").
My conclusion is that whatever "upgrade" of the i180 driver that
occurred in Gusty attempted to fix the low-resolution, telescoping
problem from Feisty, but ended up making the system unusable. This
computer is not mine (its my mother's), so unfortunately I cannot sit
there an fiddle with it for days at a time. If I cannot pop the CD in
and get a desktop, I get "sorry, perhaps next time."
