According to the specifications for my model notebook online, I do but I apologize if I am incorrect in trusting these. The issue is getting hardware acceleration to work at all / work correctly on my system which is running 13.04. I was not aware that nomodeset made it a useless log as I'm new to linux development, so I apologize for that. I have however found a fix for my particular issue finally. It seems to be common problem from what I've found online over the past few days.
The final fix was to edit /etc/default/grub and set the following (and yes I had realised afterwards that nomodeset had to be removed from the grub parameters). GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor" It seems to be common for people to advertise nomodeset as a fix to this particular intel graphics issue, however the fix was somewhat different for me and I was thrown off for a while having nomodeset as a parameter. I hope I haven't caused too much inconvenience to the bug fixing process. Please let me know if I can improve on what I've done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189696 Title: A potential fix for Intel HD 4000 graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1189696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
