Using Intel driver I found that if xorg.conf has the following lines: Section "Device" Option "XaaNoPixmapCache" EndSection
... Section "Module" Load "v4l" EndSection ------------------ GDM won't load, commenting both of them makes GDM happy. If I kill GDM & X, and then start the desktop with "startx", everything is fine, with "v4l" and "XaaNoPixmapCache" enabled or not, so it must be something in GDM that is triggering a failure in X. In brief, the problem is: "intel" driver + "XaaNoPixmapCache" + "v4l" -- Broken Intel Video i810, upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 Beta. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279835 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
