As a workaround, you can get a working environment with vesa. First, blacklist i915. That's done adding a line saying: blacklist i915 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
By the way, that blacklist worked with the 2.6.31-5 kernel. With 2.6.31-4 it didn't. Then configure xorg (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to use the vesa driver (if you don't have a /etc/X11/corg.conf file it will require that you create one by running sudo X --configure with the gdm/kdm/xdm/whateverdm service down and copy it there for xorg to use it). That will be enough to get a working environment instead of a screen with a heavy case of parkinson's desease.... no acceleration though.... but at least you will be able to work. -- karmic: 865g is pretty unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407587 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
