Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I upgraded from Hardy to Ibex RC, and instantly hit a problem which I've been trying to solve for over 4 hours now. A little background, I have a 946GZ Intel gfx card, connected via HDMI to my Asus VK222H monitor (22" widescreen). Prior to the upgrade, it ran perfectly fine under Hardy with the Intel driver and it recognized all the resolutions properly, etc. Now, onto the problem:
Basically, upon gdm attempting to show itself (it doesn't), I receive the following errors from X:
- (EE) intel(0): No valid modes.
- (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
So, I figure my Xorg.conf is out of date. So I of course recreate the file using dpkg reconfigure, and the same occurs. I try setting the BusID and also hardcoding in which driver to use within the xorg.conf -- but still nothing. I've tried a few recommendations such as the procedures listed under the launchpad doc's, but still I haven't had any success.
Basically, the only way I can view GDM/Gnome/etc is by using the slower VESA driver.

Thanks for reporting this bug. For the sake of troubleshooting, could you try to connect your monitor using VGA and DVI if available? Also, although dpkg reconfigure should probably effectively do the same, could you remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf alltogether? Finally, the developers like to have the output of lspci with the options -vvnn.
I haven't seen any other bugs for 946GZ yet, so there will probably not be many others who can confirm or help troubleshooting.
