Brian, I did an important omission: the Xorg.0.log file. Here it is.
It shows that X cannot work with my intel driver because it is not compiled for the X server version 1.8. (as you mentioned in your post #204 offering your ppa). Attempting to solve my i845 X problems (subject of this master bug report) I did install (see my post #202) the 2.11 intel driver (which is compiled for the version 1.7.6 of X) and I am still using it... and I don't know how to "detach" from it: I did a "sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" but when asking me if I accept the proposed solution, I did not know what to do (the "score" was -8386: what does this mean ?) anyway, the vesa driver is then loaded automatically BUT it configures itself at the VGA resolution and cannot do better. what do I need to do to either: - install the intel driver from your ppa "intel-shadow"? - or (in the meantime), make the vesa able to display upper resolutions e.g. 1024x760 ?
