Maybe I can add some information: Got the same problem as Michael Langerhorst on an Asus M2400 after an upgrade vom Jaunty to Karmic -- X freezes some seconds after having started the desktop after login. Ctrl- alt-del does not work, Alt-Fn1 etc. does not work, Sysrq-k kills X-Server, but the screen remains black and the machine is unusable (did not try to ssh it).
What I tried and what did _not_ help: - kernel option nomodeset - kernel options nomodeset and i915.modeset=0 What _did_ help however was using the latest kernel 2.6.29 from jaunty. Now X only crashes occasionally, and at least one occasion can be reproduced (klicking on a web site element in Firefox on a site not publicly accessible). There are some other pitfalls with using 2.6.29 in karmic, so this isn't a real solution -- it just gives you a machine somewhat usable. Have to go back to Jaunty. -- [i855GM] Freeze shortly after X startup on Intel i855 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447892 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
