To me there is a problem around KMS with i915. As far as I understand, the value 0 disable the KMS and force the usage of the video driver mode detection instead of the kernel base handling. So, I would say this is rather a KMS (aka Kernel 3.0 ?) issue. Anybody please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
I noticed a first problem with value 0, you can run Ubuntu but you will not be able to perform some tasks such as : - Switch from user console (CTRL+ALT+number) - Switch from user session (user menu at top right) - Close a user session (menu at top right) Basically anything that makes the screen mode switch (once started) now makes the screen goes black, and the only solution is then to reboot. So, I do not consider my solution as a complete workaround. The issue is still blocking until anybody find a refined way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874694 Title: Resolution cannot be set higher than 640x480 and doesn't fit screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/874694/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
