I have learned some new information. Removing only "xforcevesa" from the grub line still produces the failure case.
Removing just "splash" however seems to make it work, so this is possibly nothing to do with the xforcevesa option after all. Although I'm still not sure why that has been put there is there in the first place. Note that this testing is with the driver manually changed from "vesa" to "intel" in the xorg.conf file. The installer hard coded "vesa" in there which is obviously still an issue. -- [intrepid] intel 965 not recognised by LiveCD/installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258884 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
