I have the same problem on two laptops both having intel chipset graphics. I can get a running X-server by adding the kernel option nomodeset (which should have the same result as setting i915.modeset=0).
If I use kdm as the login manager I also get a low resolution warning. If I select to exit to the console login and enter 'sudo initctl restart kdm' than kdm starts up normal and with the intel device. If I use gdm as the login manager then the X-server works normal. (Probably a problem with the upstart scripts?). In any case I have to use 'nomodeset'. This problem occured after the update and was not there, when I upgraded to Karmic. -- [965gm] xorg update results in blank screen on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491856 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
