Brian, thanks, I gave it a try, but this is lucid not karmic. I didn't know what to do with that, so I tried it anyway. The xserver-xorg-video-intel got "kept back" so it booted to black screen. Back to hand keying in xorg.conf with driver "vesa".
Thanks for looking at the bug, Jerry -----Original Message----- From: Brian Rogers <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, Dec 31, 2009 5:03 am Subject: [Bug 406460] Re: [i845] xorg hang on video driver 2.8.0 I set up a PPA for Karmic that will roll libdrm and xserver-xorg-video-intel back to the Jaunty versions: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-testing I haven't tested this yet, so be prepared to undo it from the command line if it breaks X. If this old userspace stuff works fine in the new kernel, it may not be the kernel's fault at all. In that case, I'll step my PPA forward one version at a time and we can find out when the problem first appeared. -- [i845] xorg hang on video driver 2.8.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406460 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- [i845] xorg hang on video driver 2.8.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ 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
