Any word on if the patch listed in comments #69 and #70 will work on a Lucid kernel?
Here is how installed Lucid on the elitebook 8440p (with Intel). It is a poor workaround, but at least it works: 1) install using the Alternate Installer CD, make sure to set the "nomodeset nosplash" kernel options 2) after the installation is finished, choose "rescue mode" from the grub menu (it may be necessary to pass along the nomodeset nosplash options again?) 3) when rescue mode asks you what to do, choose "Fail-safe X" 4) copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to /etc/X11/xorg.conf 5) change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nosplash nomodeset" in /etc/default/grub 6) run update-grub You know have a working system, albeit using the VESA Xorg driver. This is obviously suboptimal, but it's better than nothing. -- [arrandale] lucid beta 2 live shows black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557744 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
