Same issue for me installing ubuntu 10.04.1 on Sony Vaio B1VP. Solved using i915.modeset=1 on boot (press F6 to edit kernel options).

[Bug 542208] Re: Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting
I am having problems with the 830m chipset in my dell 2600, using the release version of lucid. adding i915.modeset=0 does not solve anything, nor does nomodeset. (using both doesn't work either.) Plymouth is flickering like crazy and kind of looks like an old TV set with a loose connection, and when it gets to the desktop it looks like just a small part of it is visible but stretched out, and there are several horizontal lines through it. The colors are way off as well. As described above is what happens with the live CD. I tried installing with wubi, and that won't even load GDM without spitting out errors all over the place. I'll try a few things like updating firmware and I'll try to pull some logs out of this mess. -- Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting 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

Hallo everyone, I am not able to use my Sony Vaio VGN-B1VP without adding i915.modeset=1 to the Kernel Commandline. If I am going to try to boot it without that setting the Laptop freezes as soon as the X-Server comes up.

I wish we had more testing evidence to base this decision on, but I've posted a kernel bug report requesting KMS disablement on three of the older 8xx cards: lp #563277 We've already sent up a fair plentitude of bug reports to upstream, so I'm hopeful that they'll come up with fixes to this and to KMS, so we can re-enable in meerkat, or maybe even in 10.04.1, but we'll have to see how things go. -- Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting 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
[Bug 542208] Re: Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting
This is an unfortunate situation. There are users with 830 chips who are impacted by a regressions in stability in the current x stack when running 3d and KMS. We have opted for a stability first approach for these users. We will disable 3D and KMS for these chips in Lucid final release. This will have the unfortunate effect of disabling compiz. This will introduce a functional regression. So we will be sacrificing functionality for these users in favor of stability. This is a painful choice to make, but we feel that stability must trump functionality when we are forced to make such choices. We will be pursuing functional fixes. However, we will do this outside the main release, for example in a PPA. If we are able to provide a fix that delivers stability and functionality, we will consider this a potential SRU in 10.04.1. -- Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting 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

[Bug 542208] Re: Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting
Alright, I'm convinced. Let's focus one bug report per chip, for accounting purposes. It's likely that if/when fixes come they'll be done for chips individually. While it sounds like KMS works for some i830 users, non-KMS should also work for them, so this blacklisting will result in more total cases booting ok. Perhaps we may get fixes for i830 in time for release, but i8xx is not a high priority upstream, and so I think I'd rather blacklist it into a working state and then if/when we get a patch to undo the blacklist, than to leave it as is and risk forgetting about it in the pell mell of final release. Andy - for testing purposes what would people do to unblacklist? Will i915.modeset=1 do it, or would they need to remove a line from the blacklist file, or patch a kernel? ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Lucid) = linux (Ubuntu Lucid) -- Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting 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
