Patrick, your are right, it is very strange. I updated my system to saucy but the problem remains.
I tried as suggested by you the modesetting driver without success. First I had to remove psb_gfx and gma500_gfx from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf where I added it at 12.04 times to avoid the flickering of the display. Now I can load modesetting but it flickers again (it's a LCD but behaves like a cathode ray tube with around 50Hz!!!!!!!?). Do I need to provide some options? I tried again Option "HWCursor" "on" but this is not supported by the driver. I didn't found other useful options in the manpage of modesettings. So no success for now. Will try mir (http://www.olli-ries.com/running- mir/) soon (that's why I upgraded). Other ideas? My xorg.conf (tried also without turning SWCursor off): Section "Device" Identifier "Modesetting Video Device" Driver "modesetting" Option "HWCursor" "on" Option "SWCursor" "off" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Modesetting Video Device" EndSection I attached the X log file.
