I have to support Bryce Harrington in comment #7, running kernel 2.6.31-21.32 with KMS black listed on a couple of different i855 based ThinkPads crashes X right away on X-startup and locks the box completely. Downgrading to kernel 2.6.31-21.31or using i915.modeset=1 in GRUB and the box runs fine for hours, even with the compiz enabled by the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel package.
This means that users are unable to boot LiveCD at all without knowing that you need to set the i915.modeset=1 as a kernel parameter. So may I suggest, that if this isn't changed, as a absolute minimum this is noted in the final Release notes ?. -- Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563277 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
