I have a Dell Inspiron 630m laptop. lspci -nn | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 03)
I had a similar issue after upgrading to Karmic. When I closed the lid (set to blank screen), and then reopened, the screen would remain black. Only way to recover would be to reboot or suspend and resume. I have tried a few different solutions (setting close lid event to nothing, and a few others that I can't remember). I found that disabling KMS fixed the issue. (From GRUB at boot, press e, edit the kernel line and add "nomodeset" at the end - minus the quotes - after the ro quiet splash part). If that works, and you want to add it permanently, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , find your kernel, and add nomodeset to the kernel line at the end. Can anyone else with this issue try this and confirm/deny? -- [i915GM/GMS/910GML and GM965/GL960] Monitor does not turn back on and computer hangs when laptop lid is closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
