I can confirm that these symptoms persist in 9.04 and 9.10 alpha 3 on the Dell Inspiron. Karmic 9.10 seems to be worse -- If you get as far as a GDM login it will display the Ubuntu wallpaper but go no farther, and Ctrl-Alt-Fn no longer works. In 9.04 switching between a console and X often gets X working.
I'm attaching Xorg.0.log from 9.10 alpha 3. There is no xorg.conf on the 9.10 alpha 3 file system. I did "find / -name xorg.conf" and got nothing. I'd love to see this fixed, so I can use my old laptop, and at least a work-around so I can use it to test Karmic. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29931273/Xorg.0.log ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- [i845] [Inspiron 1100] Fails to detect laptop flatpanel screen (i845) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316081 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
