Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
This seems similar to the i845/Karmic bugs above.
I have an 82815 controller with an i810 card using a Gateway ev910monitor.
Up until now this has never happened with an install of Ubuntu.
When using the GDM at 1280:1024 resolution, regardless if the GL support is
installed or not installed, the login screen continues to loop back to the
initial name input level a various number of times. Trying different input
methods like "other" and using the abbreviated name instead of the full name
appears to work but not always. The loop continues as many as a dozen or more
times or as little as 2 or three times. In order to circumvent this I installed
the XDM and performed reconfigure of the GDM using the xterm in the panel at
the base of the login screen. There seemed to be no gripe about the xterm
screen except it was really tiny and up and off to the left. The XDM had no
issues on login and gave me a huge old Welcome to Debian Panel which seemed to
have no issues.
The message I get has various numbers at the front which change for each loop
but the following part of the message when looping is always the
same.i810_Wait_Ring: Lockup *ERROR* space 65520 wanted 65528.
I removed the xorg package as it kept having the libdrm-radeon1 and the
libgl1-mesa-dri after the situation got worse.
It does seem to want to call the i910 instead of the i810.
