intrepid xserver only starts if boot via recovery option

[Richard Brown]

Binary package hint: xorg

I upgraded my hp2710p (Intel 965 graphics) from a working Hardy install to intrepid alpha 4, and am having all sorts of display problems.

When I boot, I get the Ubuntu splash screen, but my display turns off before I hit the login screen. Things still work, as I can log in - I hear the login sounds, and can reboot blind via a console (CTRL-ALT F1, login, sudo reboot) - so long as I get the keystrokes right. The closing down progress bar then reappears at this point.

If I boot via the recovery option, and choose Resume Normal Boot, everything works just fine. Note: I used the fix X option in recovery mode earlier, to get rid of my custom xorg.conf - it had extra entries for the 2710p's tablet, but the problem persists. The new xorg.conf has virtually nothing in it (I think by design now)
