On the Hardy beta live CD: First attempt with rac763634: - Installed the deb via dpkg -i, dpkg claimed it was a downgrade from 2.2.1-1ubuntu5 to 2.2.0+git.... (may just be the naming convention for pre-releases) - Logged out of the live CD and zapped X - X restarted but gave a blank screen - checked the X log from a VT, it was using the VESA driver rather than intel - added Driver "intel" to xorg.conf - restarted X - saw the mouse pointer for a couple of seconds then it went blank and I had to reboot (couldn't VT switch SysRq-S and SysRq-U seemed to work but SysRq-B hung with garbage onscreen) I've had problems before where once the VESA driver has loaded, loading another driver crashes X.
Second attempt with rac763634: - installed - edited xorg.conf to add Driver "intel" - restarted X - 12:45 got desktop as expected - 12:59 noticed blank screen - moved mouse, got mouse pointer over black screen - VT switched, screen returned to normal. -- [Gutsy, Hardy] Black screen with mouse pointer on i830, intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207881 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
