Have the same problem on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A110 (has Intel 945 GM or something). Here's what I did: From CD boot the desktop (as if you wanted to try the OS first) not the installer. You may get a working desktop without font scaling problems from which you can launch the installer and perhaps successfully install the OS onto your harddisk(s). Reboot your machine. You may still get a login manager with improperly scaled fonts. Try to log in even if you can't see/read your login data. You may again get a proper looking desktop. Some apps may not work properly - my mythfrontend is squashed horizontally. Installing the git fix (found elsewhere) fixes the login manager on my machine but breaks mythfrontend.

[Bug 204065] Re: Hardy - severe graphical issues with i945GM graphics
It really is a bug in the intel driver! I could only install Hardy Beta with the Alternate CD because of this bug. When I booted the laptop after the installation, a seemingly normal login screen appeared. However: when I typed in my login name, the letters were absurdly huge and didn't fit in the login screen input field. After filling out my password and pressing Enter, X wouldn't show: the screen became black and stayed black. So I had to reboot into recovery mode and run apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel This way I uninstalled the intel driver, leaving only the i810. Then I rebooted the laptop. Now Hardy boots correctly into X. This happens only with the Intel 945 chip: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller. On another laptop with the Intel 915, there was no problem at all. Also there is no problem on a desktop computer with the Intel 946. I have attached the output of lshw. I hope you can fix this bad bug in the intel driver, before Hardy ships in its final version. It's almost impossible now, to run Hardy on a laptop with the Intel 945.

I should add that this issue was also present in Gutsy. A little bit less bad though, because in spite of the absurdly huge letters when I typed in my name in the login screen input field, in the end it was possible to boot into a normal X. Already in Gutsy, I applied the same solution of removing the intel driver, with good result. It appears therefore, that this bug is still unfixed in the intel driver in Hardy.

[Bug 204065] Re: Hardy - severe graphical issues with i945GM graphics
No, the issue is not an xorg configuration issue. The xserver in Hardy is actually able to automatically detect all the device stuff, so it is no longer necessary to manually configure them. The issue you're having is that your monitor is (probably) mis-reporting its physical dimensions, so the DPI calculations are wrong, and the font gets displayed incorrectly. What we do to fix these issues is to put in a quirk for your exact monitor model. Please attach your Xorg.0.log and tell me the exact monitor manufacturer and model (or laptop manufacturer and model if it's a laptop). Note that X configurations using i810 are no longer supported, and that driver will be deprecated entirely as of Intrepid. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium -- Hardy - severe graphical issues with i945GM graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 204065] Re: Hardy - severe graphical issues with i945GM graphics
Hey- What is the location of the log file you need? The model of the laptop is a Compaq V5204NR with a 15.4 widescreen capable of 1280x800. Can you elaborate a bit more? I am not too technical with this stuff, but why did the current release not put in anything at all for the xorg file? Is this something that should be resolved by final?

/var/log/Xorg.0.log I'm pretty sure the location is in that wiki page as well.

Thanks for the bug report! For these sorts of issues with X, there are a lot of things that will be necessary to look into before being able to pinpoint the issue somewhere to where it can be fixed. For starters, could you please attach these files? A working and non/working xorg.conf would be especially handy, as well as the files described at this wiki page under X crash, lockup, freeze, exit, or doesn't start/shutdown: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging#head- 8bbc35c4256d8d9bedc4c4c1609a6343310c5d15 Thanks! ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = xserver-xorg-video-intel Status: New = Incomplete -- Hardy - severe graphical issues with i945GM graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
