We get the same bug. It seems that the problem is not present with the xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.1.1-0ubuntu-9) available on Gutsy CD-ROM. The problem comes with updates done when using internet sources.list repositories.
So in order to bypass the problem on our machines we downgrad the package with the old version. We thus add the following lines to /etc/apt/preferences : Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Pin: version 2:2.1.1-0ubuntu-9 Pin-Priority: 2000 Then we use the following command to install it : apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.1.1-0ubuntu9 -- [Gutsy backport] Cannot switch to console after installing "xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.1.1-0ubuntu9.1" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182865 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
