Jerry, the i915 in the i915.modeset=0 kernel parameter is the name of the kernel driver, not the chipset. I don't know the historical reasons for it being named i915 (possibly it was only used for i915 and newer in the beginning), but at least nowadays it is used on all chipsets, including i830, 845G, and 855GM. The DDX driver used to be i810, even though it was used on i915 and i945 as well, but now it has been renamed intel (this is the one packaged in xserver-xorg-video-intel). -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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
