Hi guys, It is a shame that things are not working. Unfortunately reverting things has also broken things.
Just a data point - reverting KMS has now impacted me. (with KMS things would work occassionaly). I am not no longer able to boot to an operational graphical environment. i855M (PCI ID: 8086:3582, subsystem: 1028:018d) rev 02 kernel: linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic (2.6.32-21.32) gdm: 2.30.0-0ubuntu5 X:xserver-xorg-server-intel (2:2.9.1-3ubuntu4), intel-gpu-tools (1.0.2+git20100324-0ubuntu1) Anand On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 7:25 AM, Rick Spencer <rick.spen...@canonical.com> wrote: > This is an unfortunate situation.
