In fact getting rid of i810 will "fix" all 915resolution bugs (16 of them + duplicates) as the package becomes entirely obsolete. There will be no need for it anymore. You can find also some ~50 "I got wrong resolution out of the box" bugs + duplicates that are assigned to random locations. Most of those caused by not supporting widescreen modes will be solved pretty much instantly.
I selected "intel" instead of "i810" and removed 915resolution. I got automatically the correct mode, and it works nicely. Why I got i810 when using dpkg-reconfigure, that I don't know. Xrandr and vgaout/tvout on- the-fly seem to be working (without restarting X or having a long and brutal fight with i810switch) which wasn't the case with 810. I got still some BadAlloc issues with XV, but on that i810 and intel are identical. It is some separate issue that pops up only when the compiz- fusion is enabled and has plagued these cards for years. It's some sort of an issue with having too little amount of memory (after especially compiz-fusion has hogged some) for XV frame buffer. Or something like that. It should be handled separately. (See these: https://bugs.launchpad.net/Ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=badalloc ) Anyways, in overall the experience when using intel over i810 is a lot better for me and I believe that it is for nearly everyone. Are there actually cards that are supported by i810 but NOT by intel? That would imho be the only reason for having the ability to use i810 included on default installations and on livecd. ** Attachment added: "My lscpi -vvnn" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9037552/lspci.txt -- Gutsy: Intel should be preferred over 810 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
