Thanks for posting! I have tried that on a Lucid Live CD by booting with kernel option "text", installing the ppa version and then "sudo xinit gdm". Everything runs fine for 1 or 2 minutes, when the system hangs. I can press ctrl-alt-del however, then I get a white box with some console output for a short time:
gdm-binary[2765]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found gdm-binary[2765]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0,03.... seconds I have checked that the pid is the same as that of the gdm-binary which is running before. After that, the screen goes black with the backlight going on and off every 2 seconds or so. -- [i855] freezes every few days since upgrade to jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378147 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
