i haven't read everyone comment so not sure if this is fully relevant but some information posted here led me to a fix for my intel issue.
i followed the info on here. as shown on a comment. http://ubuntu- tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup- workaround/ then i edited my xorg.conf to change the driver to intel (was using vesa because i couldn't get a display) so i assume thats what the GPU lock up people are referring too. but after that i rebooted. it shows screen and enabled compiz effect so far no other issues. If this helps someone awesome. if not oh well figure better get what i did that helped me out to maybe help another. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 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
