The bug below has been fixed in the most recent patch (xserver-xorg- video-intel 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu8)
"Some users of Intel i8x5 video chipsets are unable to load X, getting an error message of "Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer". As a workaround, use the VESA driver by logging into a text console, running "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf", and adding the line Driver "vesa" to the Device section. An alternative (experimental) workaround is to use the UXA acceleration method (see below). If in doubt, please do not upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 Beta yet. 304871" [ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/304871?comments=all ] Thank you VERY MUCH for your hard work! However, there are still some other problems probably related to this performance issue; the graphic rendering in some of the java-applet & web pages are broken. Please refer to the attached screenshots.
