[Bug 268036] Re: Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD
The Dell Studio 15 with an Intel X3100 video chipse has the exact same problem. But what's worse is that Dell is selling these computers with Ubuntu preinstalled, and shipping them out with this error without even testing to see that they boot up. If anyone finds a fix for this, let me know as it is probably worth trying on the Dell Studio 15. -- Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268036 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

I also can confirm this bug, and same results, on the same laptop. No distro seems to yet have a solution (fedora rawhide, suse factory, mandriva cooker, etc.), and compiling from upstream hasn't helped either. Has anyone tried using a GEM enabled kernel to tap into the latest capabilities of the driver? I haven't had the time to try it yet. -- Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268036 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

I've installed 8.10 RC and compiled the latest intel drivers (2.5.0), and the LVDS problem is still not resolved. VGA output works great, but the LVDS only works in vesa mode (fairly useless for me). Let me know if I can contribute to solving this issue. -- Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268036 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
[Bug 268036] Re: Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD
I am seeing this same behavior with a BRAND NEW Dell Studio 15 laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled. Similar chipset (Intel GM965 aka X3100), same xf86-video-intel driver. I tried installing ArchLinux on the laptop and had the same problem when using the intel driver in xorg.conf. vesa works fine (except at low resolution of course). The behavior is very odd. The screen goes completely white. Then, after a few seconds, dark lines start fading in. The lines are all different colors. It would be pretty if it were a screensaver. But it basically makes the system useless. Very frustrating. If anyone has any hints/tips/advice I would greatly appreciate it.

I have the exact same laptop and am experiencing the exact same problem. I downloaded the latest beta release of Intrepid Beta, compiled the 2.4.2 intel drivers, all to no avail. When GDM starts, the screen turns white and slows fades to grey with a grid pattern - completely unusable. When I hook up an external monitor to the VGA output of the laptop, it works great. But no success with the LCD.

Re: [Bug 268036] Re: Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD
I wish I could help but I finally got tired of the situation and exchanged the laptop with a VGN-FW139E/H which uses an ATI video chipset. It was either that or use Vista until the drivers were fixed, and I wasn't willing to submit myself to that type of torture. I am glad I exchanged it anyways as the ATI chipset is much more powerful. I hope it gets fixed for you soon, Best of luck Jason Barnett On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 2:27 PM, ponar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have the exact same laptop and am experiencing the exact same problem.
