I just updated to kernel-version 2.6.31-rc9 (vanilla) and KMS is now fully functional on my 855GM-chipset. No more black screen, usplash shows up, etc.
There was no change to the xorg-intel-driver in the last few weeks, so it must have been a kernel problem. Waiting for an official upgrade to the ubuntu-kernel should solve the problem once and forever. Here is the corresponding bug entry for the kernel : http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20115 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #20115 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20115 -- [i855] Karmic Koala Alpha 3 live CD give black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410455 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
