Bug#601889: xserver-xorg-video-intel: X crash on start with intel 82830M GFC

2011-03-20 Thread Ramon Caraballo 
Hello!
I've tried  2.6.38 and 2.6.37 kernels with similar results
even more 2.6.38 didn't booted.
Definitively its hard to get linux working on the Dell inspiron 2600
laptop.
By now I'm using the vesa driver to get Xorg working but I can't
switch to the text consoles and came back X because I only get a distorted
image in the desktop.

I'll could try a bios update to A09 version despite that there is a lot of
references on internet warning that the A11 bios version becomes the system
unbootable with linux

After a lot of work in fine tunning, 2 problems still persists:
1-The most urgent: Xorg is failing with the intel driver
2-The second: synaptic touchpad don' t work but I still have standard mouse
support.

Regards and thanks for the support

Ramon

Recompiling doesn't magically fix bugs.

Cheers,

Try a 2.6.38 or 2.6.37 kernel.  Or use the vesa driver.

Cheers,
Julien

2011-03-17 Thread Ramon Caraball 
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.13.0-5
Severity: High

The upgrade to Squeeze was a nightmare! 
 No way to get my intel 82830M graphics card working properly 
I must set the module i915_kms to modeset=0 to rum X with the unaccelerated
 driver vesa.
Please anybody knows how get working the i830M card in squeeze?
I'm exhausted and I've tried every recipe with no results.
Thanks
