I'm not an ubuntu user, but I seem to have had a similar problem. I have (at my office) a Dell Optiplex, with an Intel 965q chipset. I was using Sidux (which is mostly Debian unstable). When I upgraded xserver- xorg-video-intel to 2.1.1 (in Debian unstable), my computer would hang at boot-up, just when X was starting. It was a complete hard freeze : no keyboard shortcuts worked, and I had to shut off the computer using the on-off button. [If I booted in single-user mode, I usually could start X as root, but even that was iffy.]
And it turns out that there was a similar bug reported at Xorg, only occurring with the Intel 965 chipset, and only with versions 2.1.1 and 2.2.1 of xserver-xorg-video-intel. Changing the driver in "xorg.conf" from "intel" to "vesa" stopped the problem, but the screen resolution didn't look that great. But I think (knock wood) that it got fixed when I downloaded the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel package --- 2.3.0 -- from Debian experimental. I don't know if that would work on a Ubuntu system. But maybe you could get the Ubuntu maintainers to upgrade the xserver-xorg-video-intel package to 2.30 (I think 2.2.9* would also work) in the hardy heron release? -- X starts with black screen / blue screen (i965G) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153188 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
