Hi Stefan, Just wanted to check in with you again regarding this bug. It's great that you've been able to work around the problem by using the newer kernel. Talking with Jesse Barnes (Intel upstream), a number of fixes went in to the kernel for this generation of hardware subsequent to what was pulled for Ubuntu's kernel in natty, so it sounds like we're just missing a key patch or two. [@Kernel team - might want to pick jbarnes' brain for patches worth pulling.]
I think the next logical step would be to do a git bisect search on the kernel to identify what the fix was. The kernel team may have some better suggestions, but if you want to go forward with the bisection search, they've documented the procedure pretty well here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection. Since it appears this is pinpointed to the kernel rather than X, I'm going to go ahead and close out the X task at this time. I'll try to set the kernel tasks tags and such to hopefully get it on that team's radar, but you may want to ping them if you don't hear from them within a few weeks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Natty) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Milestone: None => natty-updates ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Steve Conklin (sconklin) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/758785 Title: [arrandale] Display flickers or blank on login (x86_64) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/758785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
