[Kristoffer Grundström]

Binary package hint: xorg

1. I'm using Lucid.
2. xorg:
  Installed: 1:7.5~3ubuntu4
  Candidate: 1:7.5~3ubuntu4
  Versiontable:

3. I expect the bootloader to load the kernel without any errors.
4. Directly after rebooting my computer & when I chose the newest installed kernel in Ubuntu to use the screen got black & I got an error-message asking me if I want to run in lower colour-mode.

[This is an automatic notification.]

Thanks for reporting this bug to help making the Intel graphics driver
better. We hear from upstream that a number of bugs (possibly including
this one) have been fixed in the newer DRM code from the 2.6.33 kernel.
I don't know if your bug is one of the ones fixed in this release,
though, but we've prepared a PPA with this DRM update. Would you mind
installing this, rebooting, and testing if the original issue can be
reproduced with it or not?

The DRM PPA is here:

    https://edge.launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/red

Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug linux' (for kernel or DRM or KMS bugs) or
'ubuntu-bug xorg' if you suspect them to be X.org issues.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

Hi Bryce. I can't furnish you with as much info as the original poster, but this bug still exists, at least with Intel's 82845RG chipset. I also tested with Fedora 12, which moved to the problem Kernel during release and there, it only exists after moving to the newer one, so I'm pretty sure this is an upstream bug. It really needs fixing though. It's really hard to tolerate if you're subject to it.
