As I recall, there is a way (I don't remember how) to drop back to an ordinary terminal display when in the blank black screen condition. In that mode, I was able to do apt-get commands to un-install the new xserver-xorg-video-intel package, re-install the old one, and then lock the version to the old level. I don't remember the particulars of doing it. -- Sincerely, Aere -- 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/1389904 Title: With the recent update to xserver-xorg-video-intel, system boots to a black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1389904/+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
