I have encountered the same problem on my IBM Thinkpad X40 after upgrading Karmic to Lucid Lynx. My display adapter : description: VGA compatible controller product: 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device
I can confirm that enabling KMS fixed the freezing and now I am able to boot in a normal manner. My setup is a bit different though, the i915.modeset=1 gets passed to the kernel by GRUB while booting. This can be acheived by adding 915.modeset=1 to the grub boot options after pressing 'e' in the GRUB menu. To make these settings persistent edit /etc/defaults/grub and run grub-update. -- [i855] Lucid Freeze shortly after X startup (needs KMS blacklist?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511001 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
