I have the same problem with a fresh 8.10 install on a 2 years old Intel Centrino laptop. The VGA is this:
dimit...@laptop:~$ lspci -v | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Didn't have any problems in previous Ubuntu releases (hardy, etc). I will try the deb packages suggested here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/218334/comments/84 and report back shortly. -- [i945] lockup on mac mini 945GM [8086:27a2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
