Hi, i am relatively new in Ubuntu, and I got a brand new machine, Lenovo core i5. I want to replace fully Windows 7 but it has been a headache to install Ubuntu due to this issue. Although I am running right now Ubuntu, the video resolution is poor.
I experience this problem on a Lenovo v360-0911B3S, (core i5 with intel integrated graphics. 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD). I tried Ubuntu 10.04 and the beta version of 10.10, still the same problem. Temporally I could start the video in 1)VESA in the Xorg driver, and 2)passing in the kernel parameter "nomodeset" each time I boot my computer. It allows me a resolution of 1024x768, in basic mode (I mean, no extras in video effects). I tried to install intel driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel) with all updated versions, but problem remains. I tested different alternatives from liveCDs, and the results at date (Sept2010) are: - Lubuntu 10.04 LiveCD: Starts LXDE only with the F6 parameter for safe graphics nomodeset - Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD: Starts with F6 selecting parameter nomodeset , and adding in the line i915.modeset=0 - Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD: Starts with F6 selecting parameter nomodeset , and adding in the line i915.modeset=0 Alternatively, I use an external monitor, and i can boot with a kernel parameter "i915.modeset=1", and the external monitor takes full resolution, but the laptop screen remains blank (no images at all). -- [arrandale] Integrated intel graphics GMA HD doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590504 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
