Have the same problems since karmic, but only when system started with an external monitor plugged in. I noticed that downgrading kernel then fixed that issue (but brought up many new ones).Now I was trying to install Lucid, and since gnome loaded I had white flickering and kind of "drunken-view-mode", which made the system barely usable. Switching off KMS made the miracle! Installing now.
BTW... what negative consequences can disabling KMS have other than losing plymouth boot screen? -- [i830] graphics hang blank screen on lucid boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542208 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
