Tried to install ubuntu 12.10 on that machine but failed. The kernel in the installation iso is 3.5.0-17, there is no i915-hsw module.
So I tried to do a fresh installation of 12.04.2. The xorg stack is lts- quantal. Without 2:2.20.9-0ubuntu2.3~precise1 in precise-proposed, this issue can be reproduced. After installing this package, this issue is fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202524 Title: [lts] Switch VGA mode will become black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hwe-next/+bug/1202524/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
