Sorry about the late reply - I'm moving to a new apartment and haven't got much time. It took me a while to figure out what is KMS, and then to try to disable it. When I add i915.modeset=0 to the kernel command line, it complains that its an unknown boot option and modinfo shows no such parameter supported by the i915 module.
for some reason I can't remove i915 in order to reinstall it with the option on the command line (it complains that the module is in use even if I shutdown everything X), so I added a modprobe config file in a final effort to turn it off. I'm not sure that it did anything and I don't know how to verify, but the output of LVDS modes is identical. -- [GM45] Default 60Hz display mode drives LVDS incorrectly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398026 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
