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.

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 Be

I installed all available updates yesterday on a Dell C400 and the initial bug is solved. I don't say that it looks pretty booting (way too little colours) and that it is like it should be (dithering problem) also the console flickers and UNR doesn't work ... but the machine doesn't hang with a

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

Have the same problems since karmic, but only when system started with an external monitor plugged in.

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
