Also, be aware (from release notes): "Hangs with desktop effects on Intel 830MG and 845G video cards
There is a bug in the Intel video driver for the older intel 830 and 845 integrated video cards that are used on laptops like the IBM R30. Desktop effects with compiz will not work on those chips and will freeze the system. For new installations, please install using the safe graphics mode (press F4 in the startup screen) on these systems and disable desktop effects via System -> Preferences -> Appearance, clicking on "Visual effects" and choosing "None"." I'm afraid I did not read this before upgrading, but I had turned off the visual effects anyway (via the appearance preferences) because I was well aware that the graphics in this laptop are poor. However, I did not install in safe graphics mode, though this seems like an unrelated bug to the one that I'm getting. So I may have been not exactly correct about compiz/splash. -- [Intrepid] Fails to detect laptop flatpanel screen (Intel 845 graphics, Dell Inspiron 1100) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316081 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
