Hi Peter, Thanks for attaching the logs. I note this in your dmesg:
[ 263.278247] mtrr: no MTRR for d0000000,7b0000 found [ 1016.285214] [drm] Module unloaded [ 1029.589888] i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 1029.589904] i915 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 1029.648906] [drm] set up 7M of stolen space [ 1029.649278] [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring head not reset to zero ctl ffffffff head ffffffff tail ffffffff start ffffffff [ 1029.649353] [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring head forced to zero ctl ffffffff head ffffffff tail ffffffff start ffffffff [ 1029.649415] [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl ffffffff head ffffffff tail ffffffff start ffffffff [ 1029.649598] [drm:i915_driver_load] *ERROR* failed to init modeset So it seems that for some reason the drm driver in the kernel (which is where monitor resolution logic resides nowadays) is failing to load properly. Without that in place, X can't load up. There's been bugfixes to the -intel driver between maverick and natty, so I think you probably should test against natty. I think you can do sufficient testing by just booting one of the natty daily cd's. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs - I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a foxconn motherboard with intel built-in graphics; I have an IIyama Prolite 2250MTS touchscreen attached, and the touch function work flawlessly (kudos for that!). I only have a problem with the monitor resolution: I can't get the native resolution of 1920x1080 to work. I think it's a problem with the intel driver: - - when I startup gdm, X crashes with an error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: - [248211.694] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory - [248211.702] (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected. - [248211.702] (II) UnloadModule: "intel" - [248211.702] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. - [248211.702] + I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a foxconn motherboard with intel built-in graphics; I have an IIyama Prolite 2250MTS touchscreen attached, and the touch function work flawlessly (kudos for that!).
