I switched from the i810 to intel driver in the xorg.conf and it appears to make no difference at all: the machine boots but without showing the splash screen, X.org starts fine and works in the right graphics mode. So the only problem appears to be in the Live CD boot. I am not sure the recipe above is useful for testing that, it would be testing a disk boot, but that already works fine.
Are the X.org drivers used during boot to show the spalsh screen? -- [Hardy] doesn't recognize native resolution on Vaio PCG-SRX51P/B (i815m) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183746 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
