[Bug 542208] Re: [i830] graphics hang blank screen on lucid boot
@Bryce @John, sorry, I just double-checked and GNOME login with 2.6.32-17 / 2.6.32-19 + xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu1 I only get a really messed up screen with i915.modeset=0, without modeset just the boot to black screen. with 2.6.31-21, xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu1 and modeset it works, Ubuntu Netbook Remix login the only usable configutation is 2.6.31-21 without modeset.

[Bug 542208] Re: [i830] graphics hang blank screen on lucid boot
Finally saw hints to replace "nomodeset" with "i915,modeset=0" and i830 is now running. I'd recommend "i915.modeset=0" be default for both i830 and i845 since there's been persistent disabling X failures over Lucid, Karmic, Jaunty, ... On Beta even ati Mobility 7500 failed which required "radeon.modeset=0". Three out of my four test pc's were disabled by Beta until these commands were put into /etc/default/grub. i830 wouldn't even boot in "recovery" mode; I did "ssh" from another pc to make the changes. Also there doesn't appear to be any way to communicate to us Beta users that there's been a change and "nomodeset" has been replaced by "i915.modeset=0", or if there was a concerted effort to tell us I missed it. Thanks to the Lucid forums (Yay!), I'm running again.

All available updates on Thinkpad R31 i830 failed. i915.modeset=0 worked! I'd really recommend blacklisting i830, i845, and ati Radeon Mobility 7500 from KMS with default i915.modeset=0 on the intel's and radeon.modeset=0 on the ati. Of four systems, only one that's not screwed up with Lucid Beta 1 is ati Radeon Express 200. All four did work with Lucid Alpha 3.

I installed all available updates yesterday on a Dell C400 and the initial bug is solved.

Alright well sounds like perhaps we should blacklist i830 from kms. However, I've just now uploaded a new -intel which has cherrypicks for fixing several 8xx bugs. No idea if any will fix this bug (most likely not), but would be worthwhile to test just in case. Please test -intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu1 and let us know if it resolves the issue or not. If it does not, then we will go through with a blacklist to force UMS for this hardware. -- [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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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.

Yes, adding "i915.modset=0" to the "kernel..." line allows 2.6.32-16-generic to start graphics successfully on Dell C400. I had tried "i915.modeset=0 nomodeset" last week, and it had not worked at that time. I have installed updates several times since then. I also see that starting without "i915.modeset=0" causes the black screen to flash white approximately once per second. This is different than what was previously seen, i.e. black screen only. How can I make this parameter the default? I have not yet found how to do that in "info grub".

Which line are we supposed to add it on, just to be sure? Is it the one with linux and splash or the one with initrd? On the one with initrd, there was no effect. On the one with linux, ro and splash, Adding it changes my framebuffer font go away and the ubuntu loader logo disappeared. No X.
