Personally I have always used "nomodeset" with my Extensa 5635z and it works fine 100%, but I guess they both do exactly the same thing.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/ReleaseNotes speaks of both "nomodeset" and "i915.modeset=0". And graphics on my 5635z with kernel mode setting switched off are NOT slower than on my otherwise very similar 5630z with KMS. -- KMS: notebook boots but stays black https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425165 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
