X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver This is a transitional package providing the Xorg video driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, and can be safely removed. ------------------------------ Ok, I got the point about deprecated and removed... The key point in this bug report is that now, Intrepid is just not working by default with i810 chipsets. I have a Compaq Presario 5000LA (which is dated I know, but it's still useful..) and it won't load gdm because this xserver-xorg problem :( which for a (even more than me) beginner will be a total frustration. Actual problems with Intel driver for i810 chipset are: -GDM becomes crazy and crashes by default. -If I kill GDM/X and get to my desktop using "startx", the display settings window won't let me choose above 800x600 by default. -dri is only activated @ 16bpp, I found it while reading the Xorg.0.log, otherwise @ 24bpp I get 30fps in glxgears, in 16bpp I get ~200fps :) Bottom line is that intel driver is not that bad, but it's default configuration just does not work!. Please, Intrepid is only 9 days from now, and just God knows how many users will be disappointed when they see theirs GDM crashing with no obvious reason :( -- Broken Intel Video i810, upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 Beta. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
