@Chris Halse Rogers: did you mean Bug #541511? @ LGB etc: My system also will not work without KMS. In fact, the 2.6.34 rc3 kernel with modeset=0 will not complete boot either. One peculiarity on my system with kernel 2.6.32-21 is that setting modeset=1 via /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf does not work.
However, placing i915.modeset=1 on the boot line in grub does work. Go figure - as devs have commented this is a highly contextual bug. @Chris/Bryce: want the above on the wiki? -- [855GM] GPU hang when an application tries to use XVideo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
