Public bug reported: X is unable to start on a Acer AOD270 intel atom netbook with a gma3600 chipset when the gma500_gfx kernel driver is loaded.
(xorg.0.log) [ 41.352] (EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM. Kernel 2.6.28 required. [ 41.352] (EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master. [ 41.352] (II) UnloadModule: "intel" [ 41.353] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [ 41.353] Fatal server error: Workaround is to blacklist the gma500_glx module, which allows X to start by falling back to the vesa FB driver. Applying the patch described here fixes the problem without the need to blacklist. http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=499509 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.20.9-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Oct 20 11:35:10 2012 InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-video-intel UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-10-19 (1 days ago) ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 quantal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069031 Title: intel gma3600: X unable to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1069031/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
