Your point is correct that kms was disabled (I guess it is in the kernel but i915 is configured to not use it)
I have an /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf which had in it: options i915 modeset=0 If I do use kms, I have found no way to launch X since mid-2011. No matter what I do, the Intel X driver 2.20.9 prints in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (EE) intel(0): failed to get resources: Invalid argument This is similar to the poor soul in Bug #1088271 but I have had it for about two years now. I was just thinking it would eventually start working. Perhaps you could provide some help and insight with that problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088147 Title: Intel 915GM/GMA900 upgrade fails 12.04-12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1088147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
