What seems to be going on here is that the video is being sent to your (phantom) VGA port instead of LVDS.
Are you able to correct it by doing this? In "Section "Device"" add the line: Option "monitor-LVDS" "VGA" Then add the following new section: Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA" Option "Ignore" "True" EndSection If that makes the issue go away, then we can request in a kernel quirk for the bug. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- [i965GM] [karmic] kernel 2.6.30-10 does not load X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
