Since this has been marked upstream as the same bug as bug #541492,
which we're considering working around by blacklisting KMS on that
chipset it would be useful if people who are encountering this problem
could try booting with KMS disabled (by adding “i915.modeset=0” after
“quiet splash” in the kernel boot line).
If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll
reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us.
If anyone finds that their i855 system works *worse* with KMS turned off
for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause
regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things
have been known to happen!
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Incomplete
** Summary changed:
- [i855] Lucid Freeze shortly after X startup
+ [i855] Lucid Freeze shortly after X startup (needs KMS blacklist?)
--
