Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
I was advised to upgrade to version 2.7.1 of the intel drivers from x-updates in order to get dual-screen to work (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/379805). Since then, about once per day, the screen just goes completely black. Control+Alt+F1 gets me a command line but nothing makes X work again except for rebooting. What appears in syslog when this happens is; Jun 8 08:58:17 cameron kernel: [41066.989758] [drm:i915_setparam] *ERROR* unknown parameter 4 Jun 8 08:58:17 cameron kernel: [41066.989789] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 6 Jun 8 08:58:18 cameron kernel: [41068.145609] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 6 Jun 8 08:58:26 cameron kernel: [41075.594275] [drm:i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0 The files automatically attached by ubuntu-bug are *after* a reboot. Manually attached are copies of some of the files taken before the reboot. There are quite a few hits when I google for the last entry in syslog. This sounds a little like 305227 but that goes pack to 8.10 and this is extremely recent. This problem did not happen with vanilla jaunty - only after after installing 2.7.1. Of course various other package updates were installed while trying to solve the problems with 379805 and it could be one of them. I apologise if this is not the correct package to report this bug against.
